The jaw tips should be bent up like that to prevent the jaws from coming loose. Better yet, get out your welder and bubble tip the jaws on all your traps
Just me- I'll not have any more foot traps without a substantial frame or welding a base plate on the bottom to prevent the frame from flexing. I'm sure no professional by any means, but I've trapped enough to know that anytime I put a trap out it needs to be completely secured and anchored to hold whatever creature might stick it's foot in, and the trap itself needs to be sturdy enough and not weak to allow an animal to wreck it when it fights
