So is this gonna be an issue ?

As long as it isnt forcing the pickup tube out of the pump or twisting it etc, wouldnt be too worried.

But... since it is accessible now, maybe put a button head screw there and have no worries

I'd cut/grind/whatever, I would prefer some clearance too.

Even just running a small hacksaw down the side with it in-situ to remove some material from the but if the other options are awkward.

As long as the pickup tube is able to seat in the oil pump properly it won't cause any issues. Unfortunately find replacement hardware for that really isn't an option so if you want more clearance you will need to modify the factory main stud.

I would slightly dimple the tube to get about a mm or two of clearance.

Thanks for the advice. This is a mast oil pan and pickup tube. Paid $400 for this pan. It looks great and the baffle is nice for what I need but I had to cut the windage tray to bolt the pickup tube and then noticed the bolt. I'm just going to trim a little off the but and call it a day.
