Help-cant fit spark plug antifouler on Buschur exhaust

Hi guys ,
Been searching and searching......I put on HKS downpipe, high flow cat and Buschur catback with BR muffler and am getting the dreaded p0420 (cat inefficiency) code. Tried to install the sparkplug antifouler fix, but there is no space to fit it. If I rotate the exhaust to make room, the rear exhaust hanger is not lined up.
Has anyone been able to fit the antifouler fix with the Buschur exhaust? How did you do it?
Help

I have them on mine but my bung was facing to the side and fit perfect. what style exhaust do you have I know some of the earlier bushur's were slip fit. I would contact bushur cause sounds like they made the hole in the wrong spot. If not just get the electronic code delete.
But that is weird man.

The exhaust is dented? Not sure if I like this method either

I was thinking of having another O2 sensor bung welded in at a different location to allow for the antifoulers.

Bump...
Guys, need some input from slip-fit Buschur exhaust users out there. Were you guys able to solve your CEL issues with the spark plug antifouler trick, and if so, how did you make it fit-I have no space the way my O2 sensor sits now.
Thanks!

Same one i have. its not a huge dent at all. Its honestly barely noticable. The CEL fix has worked great for the previous owner of my car. As for me it started to throw the light. I unscrewed it and it was clogged with black sutt (carbon deposits i guess) and now it hasnt done it.
