I would almost bet that the upper C on that side is bent inward a little causing the gusset to sit incorrectly. If you have a 2 foot digital level, you can check if it is bent quickly comparing to the other side. If its bent, you don't want to weld that gusset on there essentially locking in the bent C, which will lead to issues down the road (premature wear on tires, bearings, etc). Just a thought.

It looks like the gusset is sitting weird because he wedged it in there

Am I completely off here?
I have no idea about these things but did you compare the 2 and make sure they are even the same size? To me it looks like they are not. Is it just as bad if you swap the sides you're using them on?

I will try to measure later today. I have not been rough on the jeep at all and have not been offload yet so I hope it isn't bent.

I do not have a digital level so I'll have to find another way to measure it

And also, both are the same shape and size... The knuckle gussets that is.

It is actually the same one in both photos just flipped around.
