Default brake line problem with coilover kit???

i've installed a UPR K-member/ a-arms with coilover kit and they now hit the brake line braket that runs along the frame that connects to the caliper when i turn the wheels

question is :

how do i move it? if i move the braket then i need to bend the brake line, would hate to colapse it.

how has everyone else done it?

if you have a pic can you post it.

should i just adjust them all the way out? i'm worried that when i take it to the alignment shop they might move it back and it will hit the line.

but i'll play with them tonight and see what happens.

thanks for your help.
