secondaries hitting intake

I've been talking with customer service the last two days and have sent them some pictures of the problem. They want me to send in the intake and carb so they can have a look at them. They said sometimes the 1408's will clip the center divider a little bit. This is a different story though. It looks like something shifted when this intake was cast.

I tried spacing the carb up off the intake with washers. With the carb spaced, the secondaries cleared but not by much. It would probably work running the thick gasket but I'll feel more comfortable having Edelbrock look at it.
