Narrative:

During taxi to gate we had 2 marshallers to the right, 1 marshaller to the left, 1 marshaller to the front of the aircraft. Marshallers on both sides of aircraft gave thumbs up signals and marshaller in front gave 'continue taxi in' signal with his wands. Right wingtip interfered with static wick of the parked E120. E120 was not parked in the proper parking spot.
