Shield graphic glitch when using Ascension gloves

So I finally got to purchase the Ascension pieces on my first incarnate, a WM/SD Brute.
I excitedly went to the tailor to try it out and, much to my dismay, when I use the Ascension gloves with a shield, this happens.



It seems like the game's flagging them as the larger gloves like the giant robot ones.
I've searched around and haven't seen people reporting similar issues, yet on my end this is happening on all bodytypes and torso categories.

Also, it seems like only the shoulders have the option for a more detailed decor while all the other pieces have only the "Normal" option, is that intended?

It appears there is a large transparent portion to the Ascension Armor pieces to offset the glowing parts, even if the glowing bits aren't there.

Is no one else having this problem? Or is this a problem an unresolved problem that has existed for a long time?

I've seen screenshots of shields sticking close to the ascension gloves properly before, so I'm sure it hasn't always been like this.
