Re-positioning awning to correct location

[Astrodokk]

My awning is installed too far forward about 8" so that when I try to use my generator door hold-open bracket, the awning foot bracket is in the way.
I've seen most of yours with that awning foot bracket to the left of the generator door and about midlevel of the door.
I took the awning off and found that the two front bracket are riveted on, but the rear bracket is screwed on and is a little loose.
I think I'm going to have to cut off the rivets and reposition all the brackets back about 8".
Apparently these end brackets should be installed at the each end of the awning rather than a few inches in, since a lot of stress happens there and the ends need that support.
Good thing it's a nice day today!
And yes, I lost my porch light lens but not willing to pay 14 bucks for a new one yet lol

Will use stainless or galvanized screws to prevent rust.

Just viewed a YouTube video about awning installations and noticed that what I think are rivets can very well be carriage bolts, but not sure in our rigs.
I'll just have to find out after I cut them off.

Looks like yours was installed by one of the previous owners. The reason I said this is because:
1, the brackets are not in the same position as everyone else
2, the missing third stainless sheet metal screw ("pointy screw") that go thru the awning body, the bracket, and the body of the rig.
3, the use of two carriage bolts to mount the bracket.

I would suggest you take out the top divider inside the back closet, and check the other side of the bracket. I bet that you will find the other end of the carriage bolts, a nut, and probably some kind of backing, such as washer or backing bracket.

If you cut the carriage bolts off, you may end up with rattling noise when the nuts/washers moving around. It may not bother you, but it surely will drive me crazy.
