I have a question about jetpack placement. I've started to install the hooks and clips so I can mount it on my harness.

I've added the clips (or are those hooks?) as you can see below. This went relatively well. In hindsight, I might have installed them a little closer together, but they work fine and fit on the aluminum bar on my harness.

I never thought much about how the jetpack sits against the back plate, until I started installing it.

I had just sort of assumed it sat flush or almost flush with the back plate somehow. However, I temporarily taped the hooks into place and noticed there is a bit of a gap. The points of contact are the clips on the aluminum bar and the tops (sides?) of the 2 hooks. Is this correct?

After taking this pic, I realized that the jetpack needs to sit higher on the backplate so the top of the pack (not including the removable rocket) is only a bit below the top of the back plate (and the part that holds the rocket is just about even). However, the points of contact are the same as is the gap, even if I have to move the hooks a bit for the new placement. All of the reference and build pics that I've been able to find don't show the back plate and jet pack from an angle that I see how it sits. Any help would be appreciated before I start drilling into my shiny new jetpack.

Thanks
