Default ebay valvecovers issue

well i took the chance on the valve covers for the price, people have said some had issues with leaking, but im having an issue with one of them not clearing the rockers(stock rockers) the rear passenger side is hitting it, tried to clearance them a little in the area still nothing?

has anybody had this issue with them?

if i dont figure it out looks like im buying a pair from katech or doesnt anybody else make a decent pair? besides nastyperformance heard of issues and im not gonna fork out 400 bucks to have issues with them

thanks
