Cool BakFlip Installation

I just installed my BakFlip cover last night and have a few questions about the fit of it:
• After I installed the side rails I noticed that the plate that extends out of each rail was angled up (see photo) is this common? It seems to push the cover up and creates an odd transition between the seal and the top of the truck bed (see photo). Is that normal? Would a provided shim fix this and if so how and where do I place it?
• I see on other post that people used the shims when installing the cover but the instructions have a shim position chart that says that the Titan doesn’t need them; I did not use them when installing the side rails is that the reason for the trim sitting the way it does?
• Along the side of the BakFlip the rubber seal is raised at the folding points of the cover, (see photo) is that normal and will it remain like that or will it self adjust as it gets exposed to the sun?
• When I place the cover up in the open position next to the cab it hits the glass of the cab, that can’t be right there is no padding to protect the glass. Do you use the provided rubber shims as padding?
Just wondering if anyone else has experience the same issue and what they did about them.
Over all this was an easy installation, the hardest part was turning the factory tie down rails upside-down.
