New Window regulators

I replaced the old regulators in my 87 IROC. The new ones are slightly different, I believe from a 92 up. However, they did fit with one slight problem. The window doesn't go all the way down. The gear bottoms out with about 3 inches left. There doesn't appear to be any adjustment, they fit how they fit. Any ideas?

Yep, I think they are 4th gen. They are actually swapped. Left for on right side an vice versa. However, any search for third gen regulators shows this model as replacement on multiple supplier sites

Window bottomed out
