Driver side PIAA wiper hitting off side of windscreen

I've recently installed PIAA Super Silicone Curved 18" blades for both driver and passenger side. I am really happy with them but yesterday I realized that under heavy rain when traveling around 60 mph the driver side blade hits side of the windshield frame. Btw, I recently purchased the car and changed the blades first thing, so I don't know if the stock blades had this problem. Has anyone experienced this problem? Is it the blade or wiper arm?

You can always reset the position of wipers by re-mounting the arm.

If the blade is longer than stock, you may just need to replace it with a correct length blade.

For fitment reference, I believe 18" is the correct length for the driver blade and 19" for the passenger side. Could maybe check the screw on the arm to make sure it's not loose.
