Mazdatrix SS brake line fitment

I bought some Mazdatrix SS brake lines for four wheel disc and I am having a problem with the fit on the fronts. The brake lines screw in where they should, but the problem is the retainer. The retainer section is too close to the body side rather than the caliper side. A picture is attached. Do you guys have any recommendations as to what I could try? Will contact Mazdatrix tomorrow.

Thanks!

The lines in your pic look similar if not the same i used on my car. The retainer is not permanently attached at that position. I used some silicone spray at the center grommet in retainer and worked retainer to strut housing and installed clip and positioned brake line for most comfortable fit. Give this a try,see if it works for you.

Thanks GSLSE. They did move. I tried to move them earlier, but there was some kind of really weak sticky glue or tape where they were at. I took a screw driver and put it inside to see if I could brake it loose and it did. I guess I could have probably put more strength into moving them earlier but I didn't want to risk damaging anything.
