Hood Strut Problem

So I have had my kellyefields hood struts installed for a while now. I am starting to notice that when I close my hood I am popping the rear plastic rivets on my kidney covers. Anyone run into this issue or have any suggestions for a fix?

Thanks in advance for the help all!

Did you trim the plastic lip (just behind the vertical foam seal)? Your strut cartridge may be pushing on the plastic when closed.

I have not tried this yet... anyone have a picture of how much needs trimmed?

Picture attached. Notice the trimmed out vertical lip below the strut.
