Window molding removal?

I received and installed my platinum window belt strips.
the original rears came off easily, the front 2 broke. one of the strips actually broke, the other one of the mounting tabs.
the rear view mirrors do indeed need to be loosened and tilted up in order to get the front of the strip out and the new one it. the strip ends up being about 1/2” under the mirror.
one thing seems odd: the passenger side chrome goes all the way under the mirror about 1/4”, the driver chrome rounds off and is flush with the edge of the mirror. it seems like they would be identical on both sides
can any one post pics of their platinum strip at the mirror junctions please??
