I use these, they last forever, and work great. I'm never on my passenger side, so I don't care about the small space between the edge of the wiper and the windshield.

The final 1.5" on the passenger side is approx. 1/8th inch off the glass. You cannot see this unless you are LOOKING for it. Bottom line is that the wipers work great. Amazing how folks put up with 3 thousand dollar suspension mods that result in rattles & squeaks shocks that come apart or sway bar links that detach themselves or break and worse just to get some sort of holy grail firmer ride & most of those folks don't even track their cars. These are great $25 dollar wipers.

does the passenger side wiper lay flat ?

I've been using the PIAA silicone wipers on both family cars for years and they're great! They leave a light coating on the windshield so you get that Rain-X effect. Plus they last a long time. The first time I used them, I couldn't how much better they were than the (admittedly worn) stock wipers.
