Winshield wiper bracket

Hi gang. Finally putting the wipers back in the truck. Got my new motor from Mid-Fifty complete with Tootsie Rolls. My question is this: at the ends of the bracket, how should the tower arms be pointing. The enclosed picture, you can see there is a slight outward bent to each tower. I want to try and get it wright before I wrestle it up under the dash. The pictures are upside down, but i think you can see the bend at the end
p.s. The new motor is quiet and the new switch works well. Thanks guys.

They have some bend to them to match the curve in the cowl. Mine looked bent up too. I didn't really straighten them, but made them look "right." Then I had to bend them back to get them to line up. sorry I don't have a picture, but yours look pretty good to me.
