Problem with carbing front strut bar

I just bought a carbing front strut bar that comes with the brake stopper...
but my problem is I found that the carbing strut seems to touch/contact onto my CF bonnet when i close it... I have seen marks left behind on the backbone of my CF bonnet from the contact... those marks are not very deep... therefore i assume it is slightly touching the bonnet when it's close....
anyone has this problem with ur cf bonnet and carbing strut bar? any solution for this? I have checked my strut bar is installed properly... Fyi my bonnet is the Varis CF bonnet....

I can't say I would know why but the 2 products were probably never designed to to work with one another 100%.As long as the strut bar is not cracking your hood I would not worry too much.

i dont think it will crack my hood... not sure for long term...
but i just want to know if i am the only unlucky one to have this problem... or is common for most CF bonnet with carbing strut bar installed...
my mech has recommended to insert a washer on the hood's support to lift the bonnet up for like 2mm or so... not sure if this works...
i hope to see more bros' feedback here...
thanks in advance....
