Center Section Fuel Pickup Interference

Good News: After a 12 year project in 3 different states the Dart finally hit the road in MI last weekend!

Bad News: That big name, high dollar, dumb as rocks scam artist of a shop outside of LA screwed me yet again. I had them install a reproduction tank, new fuel system (1/2"), and move the rear axle back to center it in the rear wheel well. Upon leaving the car in the garage after the first drive we noticed gas leaking from the rear. The center section actually hit fittings of the fuel pickup (Mancini 1/2") in the tank causing a leak.

Those of you that have moved the rear axle back by flipping the perch (moves it back about 1 1/8") - did you have similar problems with interference? Wondering if it's just a matter of changing out to some different fittings/angles or if I need to move the tank back/go fuel cell etc.
