FSTB Help Needed

I just got a FSTB and unfortunately it seems to touch the metal pipe (AC maybe?) on the passenger side...should I send it back or does anyone have any fix ideas? I was thinking to maybe put some washers under the the tower mount to raise it a little, but I didn't know if this was ok or not.

gently push the ac pipe down away from the FSTB, do not bend it alot. it does not take alot of pressure

Thanks for the lightning fast reply! The AC pipe will bend? Is it ok to bend it as-is, or should I detach the pipe from the mounting bracket next to the strut tower?

just push down on it and it should lower it enough so it wont touch anymore. the AC line is made of aluminum so it will take a set wherever you bend it
