Do I have the OEM wind deflectors installed in the right channel?

Hi all,
Recently bought the OEM wind deflectors ( suzuki-shop.co.uk/Wind-Deflector-Set--Suzuki-Jimny : SKU 00800-87530) and because I am an idiot and have never installed something like this before I cannot understand the instructions.
Are they supposed to go in the same channel as the window pane itself or the rubber outer one (where I currently have it, see photo below)?
I ask because my window has been a bit juddery & rattly since I installed them, it's clearly a tight fit, and I'm not sure if that's just down to the design or me putting it in the wrong channel. As you can see in the photo it stresses the fitting a bit, so wondering if this is right.
Ta,
George

Edge should sit on black rubber

Oh dear. So they sit in the same channel as the window itself? Buddy buddy, right up against the glass?

Thank you, this was perfect and I fitted them properly after you replied but forgot to respond! No idea why it caused me so much consternation. I think I wasn't ready to bend them as much as needed!
