Default intake manifold fitment issue

Im running into an issue putting my engine back together after a rebuild. I have the aluminum valve covers from CZP and the kinetix velocity intake manifold.
when taking everything apart I found the plastic PCV nipple on the right side valve cover that connects the hose to the left valve cover was broken. no big deal. its plastic after all. thought it got broken handling it.
fast forward to now going back together I replaced it with upgraded aluminum fittings also from CZP. the intake manifold chamber hits on that right side fitting before it can seal to the lower runners. like it needs a good 5mm of spacer put in.
my issue is I cant find an orientation to make it work, thinking I could swap fittings around or clock them. compared to the factory fittings they appear to stick out of the valve cover the same amount and orientation.
if anybody can suggest a solution or point me in the direction of a spacer that might exist out there somewhere that ive been unable to find.
also if you do have a kinetix velocity manifold, here is a reminder to double check the fit between the RH valve cover cross over fitting to make sure it is not busted open.
