Serpentine brace not fitting

Hi,

I seem to have encountered a problem, when trying to fit both the braces, which connects the alternator to the head, and the Procharger plate. Because I have tall valve covers, I had to clock the alternator, so the power terminal didn't hit the covers. Now, the mounting hole for both braces is no longer in the right position.

Any help on this would be great

Are you willing to make an indentation in the valve cover where the terminal would touch it?

An update,

Id rather not modify the covers. What I have done though, it cut the terminal down slightly, and clocked the alternator back to the original position. It now just about fits. Trouble is now, both braces hit the valve cover?! I will have to modify them.
