Default Kinetix Racing V+ Plenum -Strut Bar Issues

After installing my new Kinetix Racing V+ Plenum I am having issues with my strut bar. My JIC CF wrapped bar when using the Kinetix spacers cleared the plenum but it hits my hood. I tried the oem strut bar but that unit with the spacers is tight against the plenum and the engine cannot freely move. No one seems to make the in front strut brace any longer. Looked for APS and Crawford.

What is anyone doing to resolve this issue?

The oem strut bar with the spacers works fine... If your hitting the plenum its because you adjusted the bar in the wrong direction.

That makes sense. I think my OEM bar has bar has been moved around enough that its out of OEM set point. Do you know how to find that? I don't want to push my car too far out and mess something up.

I think its something like one full turn once once you get to the point of resistance... I remember looking it up last year when I had the same problem... Last time I removed it I think I pretty much just tightened as much as my little adjustable wrench let me.
