Default vararam install help

I'm trying to install a vararam in a n 08 z51 m6. The problem I'm having is that the intake hits oil cooler. Do I have the right kit? Any suggestions evolving tech help?

My Vararam came with a bracket that relocated the oil cooler. I am sure you could get a replacement from Vararam if it wasn't included in your kit. Customer service is great from Vararam!

I did get that bracket. But it doesn't relocate the oil cooler. It just makes it so you mount the cooler to the shroud. Mine just hits the cooler and sits too high with a lot of preload on the the cooler
