    Shower shroud not covering thread

    Should my shower shroud cover these exposed threads? I can’t tighten the nuts anymore and the shroud can’t be moved closer as the threads/nut will start to show on the other side. I can’t move the threads into the wall as there’s not enough space around the copper pipes.
