Sorry, my mistake. Mr Culpeper is right. Whig's rear-sight is installed correctly.

I just got confused with the carbine lying on that Razzle-Dazzle carpet.

IMHO - The OP's hand-guard appears a bit too far forward. This likely is tilting the top of the model 1899 barrel-band to the front, preventing the barrel-band from properly seating.
