Probably going to do that or just put a few washers and a longer bolt so it moves it further out a bit, thanks

I have the same brace installed and don’t have any clearance issues at all. My car is up in the air currently for other work. I’ll crawl under it later to get some pictures. Maybe I’ll notice an obvious difference that’ll solve your problem!

Is yours an auto or manual? I can’t tell from the photos
