Fuel pressure regulator

My 96 has an aftermarket fuel regulator (not sure of the brand or any details) but it gets in the way of me putting my fuel rail covers on.. Is there any way I can move it or kind of push it off the to the side so it will go on?? any tips on what other people have done would be awesome!!

If you look at 4:15

you can see how the stock one is set up. I dont know if you can really move it backwards because the fuel lines are solid near the regulator. Maybe someone has a good idea on how to move the fpr away from the fuel rail.

Since the fuel pressure regulator is inserted into the fuel rail I don't think you could move it elsewhere. Can you not just cut the plastic cover to allow it to fit better?

If it's that much of an issue, why not just order a

replacement

one for $38?

Or, just do as others suggest: Break out the dremel.

I dremeled it out a bit and I think it is sitting all right for now, Can anyone post me a couple pictures of all the wiring on the passenger side? the shop did a pretty ****** job at wire routing and it will not clear the wiring.
