Wiper details for a split screen

Hi. I have a 1955 series 2 almost back on the road. The car didnt have any wiper equipment originally but I have accumulated enough parts to get the mechanism in and working but I need to know if I have the correct wiper arm length and wiper blade length. The arms are the nut and collet type fitted to the plain drive shaft. Mine are about 9 inches from drive shaft to blade attachment slot. The blades are 10 inches long and have a TRICO ref G500-10S. Problem is that the total assembly is too long and wipes over the central rib but which part is wrong? Any advice? Thanks

Thanks Pete,
Can you confirm the arm length as well?
