On the rear crossbar my wings have a stud only on port side and a U shaped bracket on starboard that covers the slot to feed the tramp in, along with a stud.
Is the slug for the starboard side larger, all 4 new stud kits I bought are marked short slug?

I think my starboard slug is a little longer. I will check tommorow and make sure.

I purchased my magnum wings used so I do not have the C shaped brackets on the crossbars. Yes the one rear slug is longer due to the clearance in the track. I use a stainless washer between the crossbar and the wing arm so not to chew up the crossbar when I rotate the wings up. I also use bolts instead of pins to hold them down as it stiffens the wings to the boat.
