Default FAST Intake/Coolant Pipe Issue

I am installing a 92mm FAST intake on my 99 TA. I have two coolant plugs on the back and the cross over coolant pipe on the front. It appears the intake is hitting on the left side of the coolant pipe and keeping the intake from setting down.

Any suggestions?

Carefully bend the coolant crossover down until the intake sits level

The pipe angles out further on the right side more so than the left with the hose connecting on the left side. Do I need to flip the pipe?

When I put the FAST 90 on my car it was hitting and I just bent it until it cleared. The front pipe only goes on one way and you won't be able to flip it
