Anyone else's '25 bed rails not flat?

[SLJ]

Both sides of the top edge of my '25 Bed are convex (higher in the middle). Had a problem when installing a tonneau cover yesterday as both sides of the top of the bed are convex, not flat. Wondering if this is normal on the '25.
When I bolt in a track it's not flush on either the back or the front. There's a half inch gap on one end or the other. Both sides are the same. Planning on stopping at the dealer later today to see if other '25 and '26s are the same. Brackets that came with the cover will need to be changed or modified to pull the track down to make it flush with the bed.

Just got back from the dealers lot. The '25s they have are all flat. Unless someone else's is the same I'm beginning to think something happened to this one that wasn't disclosed to me or maybe even to the dealer since it only had six miles on it.

Update: Looking at it at home again I popped out the plastic fasteners on each side. Set a block of wood on the top and tapped it with a rubber hammer and they went to almost flat in the middle. Put the fasteners back in. Much closer and seem to be as level as the '25s on the lot now. Looks like the top plastic cap rails on both sides weren't installed correctly at the factory.

The bed rails still aren't completely flat but the Worksport AL4 tonneau cover adjusts for the slight curve and sits nice and tight.

Mines kind of bulging out, not up, around the middle stake pocket. I am not sure why.

I had a similar issue with interior panel above glovebox. The corner was raised up, and simple push and heard a satisfying click.
Sure they slap these together and mis a clip or two.

Off topic but wondering how you like the Worksport AL4?

It's only been on a day but it's really sturdy. I can walk on it. First one I've had that folds all the way back so you can use the full bed.
