Is this bad for the bag?

This is my first bag setup, but not my first chassis build. I want to get some more eyes on my setup before i burn it all solid to make sure i'm not doing bad things to the bags. The bags never contact or rub anything (9" ID cup), but its the angles i'm worried about. At full compression, one side of the bump stop contacts while the other side is lifted, i don't figure this to be an issue and will be adding a bump to the control arm still. At full height the center of the mounting studs is just under an inch shy of the max height, but it seams stretched at the outside. Plus, are the angles bad in general? i also have a max height bump that tops out just before this geometry. Obviously it won't be driven at full height more then maybe a few hundred yards over it's life, and ride height leaves the bag only just past parallel.

The cup in the lower control arm will be trimmed to contour with the arm once fully welded. Yes, its all upside-down on the bench.

the parts:
Air Spring - 26c Double Convoluted ... Part #: 90007325
1986 C10 IFS: trimmed member, pie cut uppers, cupped lowers.
