i had the same problem. i'm a machinist so it wasn't that hard for me,i just marked where it was hitting,took it off and turned down a piece of metal to fit inside the hole and then i undercut it where it was hitting and then i welded it.i also scribed a line down the part i cut so i could line it back up.if you could be without your car for a week or so more i can fix it for you for free,or a local welding-machine shop can help you out.

I just called Barry and he said to loosen up the header bolts and push the header up then tighten up all the bolts again.Does this sound right?The holes in the flange looked small.
