Hood Seal Placement Question (with photo)

[Benzwood]

Just replaced the left/right hood seals today in my 1992 300E, the old ones weren't gripping any longer and (I thought) were incomplete.

But the new ones were basically the same size (trimmed the passenger side slightly).

The drivers side in particular looks strange... leaves a lot of open and unsealed area.

Also the passenger side seal is short, about 0.5", while the drivers side is tall, about 1.5".

Does that sound right, and do I have these things placed correctly?
