Default Can someone with a Breakout look at their rear ABS Sensor

Can someone with a Breakout look at their rear ABS Sensor and tell me if this is correct. Picture is taken from below and want to know if the "pin" in circle is correct by resting on the disc brake bracket, just doesn't look right, especially with the rotation of the wheel would cause it to rotate. Thank You

Granted I've got a 2012 Fatboy but that's how I did it. I wish the ABS wasn't treated as an afterthought.

The reason I'm asking the "pin" is not locked against anything and logic shows that it can turn in the direction of the wheel.

Here's a pic of the sensor on my '14 regular BO....



That looks slightly different.

Here's what it looks like on my 2016 - it does appear to have the same:

On my '13 BO the pin doesn't even come close to hitting anything, and I've had my rear tire and rear bearings replaced.

They didn't check it before torquing it down.

Can someone explain? If you look at the touring bikes this pin is actually in a slot in the caliper bracket.
