That's just about exactly correct, on mine.
I just put new stickers on last week. On the front one, the "e" and "s"
straddle the screw. I took the screw out so the decal would lay flat and as
it turned out it just barely overlaps the back-side of the "s" where it
turns down and away from the screw. The decal sits about 3/4 above, 1/4
below that screw on mine.
