My old mani did that so I just lumped a bit of carbon cloth and heatwrap between it.

I've had my supersprint on for a few months now and noticed it was sitting very close too, I just check it now and then but so far it's been fine.

as Kam has said, there is no need to worry.

they are made like that and many people have them fitted to their saxos and have no problems
