Shallower base/drop plate?

Newbie here...looking for some advice on getting a shallower base/drop plate for my air cleaner housing. Running a 5.9 magnum with an Eddy Air gap intake and an Eddy 750 and it's just a smidge too tall to close my hood without damaging my MP air cleaner cover (we're talking no more than an inch or so of needed space).

Was hoping to just find a shallower air filter but after going thru the entire stack at my local shucks (much to their chagrin), the shallower ones were too wide in diameter to fit correctly on the plate.

Thanks in advance for your help!
