You can try bending/prying them a little, be extremely careful, do not pry on them hard, this only helps if you need to get a small small amount of clearance.

Did you replace your motor mounts when you put them in? If not your stock rubber ones are probably shot and you motor is leaning to one side.

I'm having the same problem but mine are TSP 1 7"8 headers. They're also hitting the frame and rattle at idle, and sometimes while driving.
