Is this where it is actually supposed to mount? The position and rough shape of all of the pieces match the FAM, but I would have expected it to be a good 2" closer to the bed. I can't seem to find any pictures of a stock one from this angle, so maybe it is normal? It looks good from directly behind (yes, I know I need to move the plate), so maybe it is right?
