Default Robbins top snagged near side window/door?

Last post I promise -- as I'm either done with my DIY Robbins top install, or I'm going to throw the car (and myself) into a dumpster.

Is it normal for there to be this hole/gap near the driver/passenger door handles? Looks like it's snagging on something, but I can't see what. Can't even get my finger back there on the inside and this was not in the video/instructions. I've re-watched the videos 10x, and every hole fit thus far, no issues.

I haven't fully closed or latched the top yet for fear of this breaking something...

Can you not just pull it over what its stuck on? And then see what happens?

Haha, in terms of obvious solutions, yes I have tried pulling it but it won't come over/down. Problem is it's on both sides of the car.

Not sure if I need to start taking it apart again at this point...

My suspicions are I did this part wrong, but the screw/holes lined up and the video said "capture the soft top material and screw in"

Any other ideas -- does this part look wrong?
