Clearance issues with Mopar performance air cleaner

Just put the black Mopar performance air cleaner on my 440 Dart. Looks great as I already have the black Mopar valve covers. It is pressing deeply into the hood insulation pad. I already changed the filter element from the original 3" to a 2" high element, but still pressing into the pad. Does anyone know if there is a recessed air cleaner mounting plate that will make it sit lower on the carb? I am using an Edelbrock Performer 440 manifold and Edelbrock Performer series 750 cfm carb. Thanks
