Noticed a weird thing with my front fender liners, can someone confirm?

On my 2019 Rebel, I noticed something a little odd with the front fender liners. Mainly that my driver's side is noticeably hanging lower and covering the top part of the shock tower, whereas the passenger side doesn't.

I confirmed that there is only a quarter inch difference between the ride heights of my driver's side (22.25 in.") vs. my passenger side (22.50 in.) which doesn't account for the difference on the liner.

This makes me assume the liner is the reason for the difference, not sure if it's even an issue?

For you guys with Rebel's with non-air suspension that have at least a couple of thousand miles (let the suspension settle), can you check to see if your front wheel liner gap is the same? I really appreciate it!

Mine look pretty close to the same coverage.

Awesome, thank you Mustangmike, you saved me from a night of mentally torturing myself if there was something actually wrong with my truck, really appreciated you taking the time!
 
Mine is the same. I thought something was wrong also. Noticed it while I was searching for the dreaded clunk..
 
To my eye, I see differences in how each wheel well liner is cut. This would suggest what you're seeing is by design. I flipped the first photo so that it's in the same orientation as the second. You can see they're not quite the same design... the differences are slight, but they're there... so I think it's as intended.

That makes perfect sense!
