Default Plug wire header clearance

Looking for a set of plug wires that will clear my headers (Speed Engineering Shortys) #3 hits hard with original wires, 2 & 4 just touch. I purchased a set of aftermarket wires and high “high heat boots” and a couple just touch, not sure this is acceptable. Any options out there?

msd super conductor multi angle is what i'm using with block huggers https://www.summitracing.com/parts/msd-32819/overview/ (note, there are two different part numbers, one is "ls truck" and the other is "ls1". I think the only difference is that the truck set is longer.)

the spark plug boot is firm but flexible, and you rotate/bend them to any angle you need to clear the headers. Then just put insulator over it and you're done.

My son in-law bought this set because they were cheap but still a decent wire. Taylor Street Thunder Spark Plug Wire Sets 51046 $29.99

I see where they can be bent to clear the headers, may be what I need. Thanks for the link.
