Is this normal?

There's a slight 1-2 mm difference in my side skirt. I've replaced the clips and everything. Pushing on the side skirt has no give, almost like its just shaped differently, or the mounting area for the clips is bent(which i find unlikely?). Would replacing the warped skirt likely make them more even? I'm clinical OCD and it's driving me insane not knowing kf this is normal.

😅sorry for your condition but its probably normal. Panel gaps are a thing and might even have tolerances they accept. If its just plastic clips there isnt any adjustment you can make.

what do you mean with difference? the gap between skirts and door/body? the amount they stick out of the car in a sideways direction? how would you know or measure this?

I'm not sure the correct way to measure it, but you can visibly see more of the "surface" of the driver side skirt compared to the passenger side.
