sounds to me like the arm on the wiper motor is not set up right, you need to:
1) pull the wiper linkage off the arm that goes on the wiper motor
2) pull the arm off the wiper motor
3) run the wiper motor one time making sure it is parked
4) put the arm that goes on the wiper motor back on the wiper linkage
5) move the wipers to the true park position
6) put the arm back on the wiper motor
I would recommend that when you run the wipers the first time after doing this, that you run them with the wipers off or flipped up (be extra careful if you go this route), that way you don't run the risk of them going to low and tearing up the cowl, or anything else in that area. Then make sure the motor is parked, and then stall the wipers it the correct spot.
That should fix your problem
