It looks like one CIM mounting bolt on each CIM is blocked by the gears, and that this problem could be solved by slightly rotating the CIMs but this might just be becuase of the angle of the render.

In yours there is much less webbing at the edges of the CIMs. Particularly the top one where there it is best to have webbing near the bottom of said CIM as this will prevent the CIM from sagging. I would recommend adding a web between the top standoffs on the back plate which would cross over the lower face of the top CIM.
