Default Moved the Tour-Pak back an inch

Ok, I'm new to having a trunk on a bike,and maybe this has already been addressed, but I couldn't find it by using the 'search' function:

I was just looking at my Tour-Pak today and noticed that the metal plate inside has two sets of mounting holes, spaced an inch apart. By removing the five nuts/bolts, you can move the trunkback an inch, if you want a little more room for your passenger.

Ok, you can all say 'Duh, we already knew that' now.

surprised it already wasn't on the farthest back spot. Mine came that way.

Got the relocator to give the wife a little extra room.

I moved mine back and the wife didn't like it, she said didn't like the feeling that she was at the end of the seat. I moved it back to the original position.
