Looks like it is bent up to me. Mine was the same and I took a bar and bent it down to just below the ebrake backing plate.

Z,

The placement is about right.  It doesn't extend under the hand brake drum.

I had to do what Mac describes also. The skid plates do take some abuse.  Better it than the tranny and TC.

Your skid plate attaches to a bolt on cross member.  It could also be pretty bent up.  I guess the transmission mount could be gone too.

Shoot a picture a little further back.  It might help us see what's happening.
