Narrative:
This [report] is filed to report FAA violation.aircraft arrived iah with both engines t-r hinge bump fairings in wrong configuration. These hinge bump fairings are to be installed only on inboard side of both engines. But; on this aircraft the right engine inboard t-r hinge bump fairing was completely missing - see log xxxxxxx and sdr# xxxxxxx. The right engine outboard t-r was configured correctly with no fairings installed.... Now; the left engine inboard t-r was configured correctly with fairings installed. But the left engine outboard side also had t-r hinge bump fairing installed and this is wrong. The outboard side of left engine should not have this fairing installed - see log xxxxxxx. See attached pictures of both engines correct and wrong configuration; illustrated parts catalog reference and amm reference. In a nutshell; the left engine has an extra fairing installed on outboard side and right engine is missing the required fairing on the inboard side.
