Would some check for me

2012 Voyager
Received my shock pump today and put some air in the shocks. What I noticed was the shock on the right side is tucked back about 1/4 to 1/2" more than the left side. Is that the way there all made or is something put together wrong? Looking at the mounting point don't see how it could be wrong but I could be missing something.

I just measured from the top front section of the rear seat at the seam. There is a 1/2" difference on my Nomad. The measurement on the left was longer.

What I notice most was the left is harder to attach the pump because the valve is further back under the trim than the right.

The edge of my left shock valve is 1.5" from the saddlebag. My right one is 2" from the saddlebag.

Should have said right is harder to attach. Thanks for checking HwyRider . Thought that the way they designed it but making sure there wasn't a problem.
