Default Header close to valve cover question

I have a turned/forward up manifold set up and after getting new fabracated alumium valve covers my header basically touches it when tightened all the way down, its touching the top of cover witch is far from the valve cover seal, i know i can put some header wrap there but what experiences do you guys have with this?

Headers are tight and dont move. Valve covers are tight and dont move. I wouldnt sweat it if it is not severe.
