This is perfect! I was wondering if those little guys were the issue but since i had my armrests installed the day i got the bike, i didn't know for sure if they were stock or part of the armrest piece. This answers it clearly. I've also reached out to Ultimate to see what they have to say but I know this answer is right and my query to them will probably just let them know there's an issue for BRP armrests.
Thanks again!
