Is my Invisalign fitting right? (Photo)

The fit is really snug and the attachments seem to be in the correct place I can't push them up any further. The template was this way as well. I guess I was expecting this to be a little less noticeable. Should I be concerned?

Permanent bonded retainers should not be an issue for the activities you describe.  When the retainers are placed they should feel smooth to your tongue. No one will know its there.
