1969 IRS Question

I have a few questions regarding the assembly of the rear trailing arms.

My chassis is a 69, and I purchased the narrowed rear arms from VMC. I wanted to do a shorter torsions, so they wouldn't stick out past the plate covers, and I purchased the HD Spring plates to complete the assembly.

For some reason my mounting plate on the trailing arms, seems to run inline with the location of the spring plates. If I mount the spring plate on the outside of the trailing arm, it puts the plate at a terrible angle, and makes it difficult to place the torsion cover-and just doesn't seem correct. The trailing arm is installed with both washers towards the outside of the bushings.

What am I missing here? hopefully, everything that I purchased is compatible.

Thank you, for any input!IMG_3355 - CopyIMG_3356 - CopyIMG_3357
