Inner finder position ??

I'm trying to figure out if the inner finder goes over or under the radiator support at the mount. I have a reproduction radiator support and trying to determine if it has a few inner finder holes off. With the finder under the lip I'm off about 1/2 a bolt thickness for the bolts to go in. If I put it over the lip it's off a full hole slot.

Inner finder at radiator support. Inner finder under lip.

Thanks for posting your pictures. That's running under like I did mine. If the inner finder is over the rad support it can dump water into the mounting cavity. I'm guessing the reproduction rad support is not an exact reproduction. I'm able to get the bolts in but it's hard to get them started straight on the lower 2.
