Reinstalling zero lift kit

I removed the rubber piece of the zero lift kit that is screwed onto the plastic undertray and I plan on reinstalling it today or Sunday but I have a quick question about the metal strip that goes onto it as well. Is this where that metal strip should be? If not can someone tell me where it goes? Thanks

Heres the pic:

I think that the metal strip should be hidden from view if you're looking at it on the front. The rubber strip has a slot that the metal strip should go into. To describe the layer facing the front of kit, it would be rubber, metal strip, rubber again and then the plastic undertray. I have adjusted mine several times eversince I lowered the car

Oops? Do you mean the notches? If it goes up or down?

I think thats the only way it would fit with the notches up correct? also I just want to know if that metal strip with the notches on it is in the correct place. Theres already a long metal strip thats inbetween the rubber where the screws and washers go through(do I put the notched metal strip in there as well?). I just dont remember where that metal strip with the notches goes because last time i pulled it off I just had all the pieces laying on the ground and I just put everything back together without knowing how it should be.

Thanks! Now I just have to install it. Hopefully its worth the time and effort because I looked at my plastic undertray and its broken at about 3 mounting holes... I took it off like the 2nd week I owned the car because it was sagging down after I hit a shredded 18 wheeler tire at like 4am on 495. Not to mention it messed up the paint on my front bumper a bit but I had that taken care of recently.

Yes I believe the option was called the Zero Lift kit and it included the rubber lip which I posted and the little flap on the wing and if I remeber correctly. It also came with factory brake cooling ducts. Mine also sits low in 2 spots but thats because my plastic undertray is broken in one place and idk why its sitting low in the other spot, but ill be buying a new undertray next year. Im just not sure which one im going to buy.
