Ford Focus MK4 2024.5 wipers knocking

Hi, I have just taken delivery of a new ST-Line Focus , today it rained and I had to use the wipers, and I noticed they are hitting the A pillar trim on the driver side.

This wiper setup is a single motor linkage system I believe?   So I don't think there is any calibration like on my old MK3 ?

I also don't think there is any point it moving the drivers arm position as the drivers side wiper parks close to the wiper panel.

Anyone had such an issue with the MK4 Focus.

    Finally sorted, it was the wiper blades, they were gripping the windscreen too much and juddering then and at the end of the travel they released  just hitting the A pillar, new blades sorted it.
