Wiper blade issue

I installed the Auto-Zone branded wiper blades today and the driver side does not sit all the way flush to the windshield. Just wanted to see if anyone ever had the same issue before? I have installed these a million times on several cars but this is my first on my 2007 CRV. Any suggestions?

I had a set of those. They worked okay except at highway speeds they would tend to lift a little. I like the Bosch Micro Edge Excel better.

Check the clip and see if it's fully seated. You may have also inadvertently pulled the entire arm off the spindle when you lifted it up to change it. Check that also.

Did you replace the entire wiper, or just the blade? If it was just the blade, it may not be seated in all of the clips properly? Just a thought..
