Porterbuilt Stage 1 Basic Front Issue

I've mocked up and installed my Porterbuilt Stage 1 Basic Front Kit and I'm having an issue with the bag rubbing the lower shock bolt starting with half compression to full compression of the bag. So far I've only completed the install on the passenger side.

I have included pictures of the mock up of the shock bracket and the upper bag plate. Then pictures of the bag installed extended, followed by partially and fully compressed. As you can see the bolt head on the lower shock mount digs into the bag pretty good at half to fully compressed. Plus at full compression the shock starts to hit the tab of its mount.

I know I won't be fully compressed except when I'm aired out, not when riding down the road, but I'm concerned about the bag rubbing at just half of the travel and further. No the bolt won't make it into the shock tube in the other direction...the control arm gets in the way.

Any thoughts?
