Default PLM Header hitting motor mount

I just installed my PLM headers, I have aftermarket torque solution mounts, the PLM headers are rubbing on the factor bracket that goes from the engine to the mount. Has anyone else run into this issue. I am wondering if I go back to the factory mounts if that will fix the issue.

PLM with megans, no issues here. Though i have cracked my plm header 4 times now.

Blew out both o2's on seperate occasions.
Cracked the merge collector at the base twice.

I've had the torque solution mounts before. and they are quite different in shape than oem mounts. I'm willing to bet its the design of them of why they arent clearing.
