Thumbs up Question for those who have had their top replaced

I had my recently had my top replaced by Honda under warranty due to the common wear spot above the passenger and driver side shoulders. I was worried that the frame will eventually wear through the new fabric since they only replaced the softtop, not the frame. However, upon further inspection, it looks like the new top is mounted on the a little different in the rear. Has anyone else noticed this or is this just some installation error instead of an attempt to fix the problem??

Very well could be an installation error. There's a strap on either side that runs from the car body to the rearmost bar of the top frame. I've seen a couple instances where the shop mounts those straps to the car body at the wrong points, resulting in that rear bar being out of position when the top is raised.
