Yes. Likely they didn't clock them properly. You can re-clock the wiper arms.
Remove the nut, pull the arm off the knurled shaft, and move it up a degree or two so it doesn't slam into the cowl anymore.

The bottom of the sweep isn't as important as how much gets cleared up top to me.
I usually let the arms run to the top of their arc and set at least the driver side arm as close as I dare to the edge of the windshield.
Once I have em set I turn em on full bore and watch to make sure the driver side wiper isn't slamming into the A pillar.
