1986 C10 High Beam/Wiper

[Yupiamlo]

Hey I have an 85 C10 2wd

I have the side cover to the column off at the moment but everytime I put it back on and put the plastic piece in for the high beams to work, it hits the long rod that runs through my column and grounds out and makes my wiper blades go crazy.

So is the long metal rod that runs from the switch on the base of the column for you high beams supposed to be on the "inside" of the column or on the "outside"?

Sorry if that seems unclear I should have been asleep like 3 hours ago haha
