However, and I can’t tell by your photo, but if you have the “pins” BE HAPPY referred to, those will allow for an adjustment to the angle of the awning.
Check your owners manual in this regard. Carefree awnings for example, state that if your awning is under 12’, you CANNOT retract it unless all pins are in the same position, but are fine for angling rain to one side or the other while extended.
Over a 12’ awning, the pins can be in different positions when retracted, but not more than a three pin differential between the front and back arms.
See the photo for pins vs. the notches you initially asked about...
