GM engineers in their infinite wisdom, originally designed the door relays so you had to push the handle to open the door. Thus the reason for the recessed track that the arm would fit in. Deciding that the door was too easy to open (in an accident or by a wayward knee), they reversed it. They easily accomplished it with the spacers so they didn’t have to re-engineer the door. Kind if an afterthought if you ask me.

So your assembly is spot on!
