Strut bar installation, help needed! AC lines are in the way!!! Options

[deep_jewel_green]

Hey y'all. ok so here's the thing. i got my front strut bar brace in the mail yesterday and was all excited until I "tested" the strut bar and figured that the AC lines are in the way!!! did anyone encounter this??? and if so how did y'all go about installing the strut brace?? here are some pics of what I mean. the right strut tower won't interfere with the installation. its just that the AC lines run above and close to the left strut tower, which won't allow me to place the strut bar in place. what should i do??





on this image you can clearly tell that the AC lines are in the way....


could I perhaps move that bracket into that extra hole down there??


If I were to somehow move the AC line would this be affected??




any help/ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

here's some pics of mine.
fits very snug. there's the tiniest gap between them.

just enough room.
not being pushed or forced down.
