FSTB Installation

Ok, so installed it the first time around, and as expected got the knocking like noise, so did the:

NOTE FOR '02/'03 MAXIMAS:
For '02/'03 Maximas, there can sometimes be problems where the FSTB will not clear the intake manifold collector when the car is in reverse which will cause a knocking sound. If this is the case, add the following step between steps 2 and 3 above:

- Place a 3/8" or 10mm washer over each tower bolt.
From the How-To thread, and it still hit, but barely...(if looking at the engine, it's the part towards the driver's side) So I tried doing two washers on that sturt tower. I just took it all off because it still hit, and I didn't want to go for three as I was out of washers, and I wasn't sure if the nuts themselves would have enough grip after that, any suggestions?

Edit: This one if it helps.

Which FSTB do you have? It might be a good idea to try returning it...
