Default Cutout issue

I'm installing a cutout after each longtube, my problem is the driver side *cutout* ends directly under my fuel lines so when I take off the plate my fuel lines are at risk of melting. Has anyone else had this problem?

What about rotating it 180 degrees so the out let is away from the fuel lines?
