Default Oil pickup tube hits pan - HELP!

Hey guys I'm really stumped on this one. Bought an F-body pan, pickup-tube & windage tray from a member here and trying to fit on my LQ4 block. The pickup tube fits nicely, but the pan won't fit over it. Setting the pan right on the block, you can see the tube sticks up taller than the pan itself. Did the guy send me the wrong pickup tube? What am I doing wrong?

By the way, its a stock crank, stock stroke (not shimmed) I trimmed the stock LQ4 windage tray because the F-body one wouldn't fit at all. Only thing different is the ARP main studs, but they don't seem to stick up any taller than the stock ones. HELP...

Does the tube have the part number?
Stupid question here but is there a gasket on the oil pan? They are thick?
I don't think there's another pan similar to the fbody pan in depth. Not truck or ctsv pan.
Maybe it's bent?

No part number on the tube, but it looks like an f-body tube to me. And its not bent. Everything is in good shape, just doesn't fit.

D*mmit...just noticed the front part of the tube hits too. Something is definitely wrong here. This has to be the wrong pickup tube??

Contact the seller and let him know about it.
Could be as simple as you said, sent incorrect tube.
