Default Front motor mount question

Greetings all, I recently replaced my front motor mount with a glide pro mount. I have noticed in some videos that some folks have used a ratchet strap to pull everything forward. The glide pro video doesn't do this however i am wondering should the top bracket completely cover the washer? Mine doesn't completely cover the top washer there is about 1/8 inch of the front of the washer that is visible from a top down view. My centre bolt moves freely before it torque. I have followed the glide pro installation to a T. Everything is torqued to spec. Any insight would be muchly appreciated.

awesome thanks. I also emailed Jake and he said that was why they added the top washer. So long as it’s smooth it’s good. I only have about 150km on the mount. So buzzing in the floorboards but I hear that goes away.
