Default plug wire vs. header

So i went to fit my new headers on while the engine was on the stand. Everything looked fine except cylinder #6. The plug wire boot was hard core touching the header pipe. I have MSD wires on the thing and I know they are good for heat. But direct contact??? should I call Flowtech? or MSD??? Or are there low profile boots on a wire kit??? All other cylinders had sufficient clearance. Anyone else have a similar issue???

They will say buy a shorter plug. Like the Accel header plugs. You can pull the header and smack it with a ballpeen hammer for clearance. Or Hedman's are known as the best fit out there. Mine fit great with angle plugs and 1/2" dropped body mounts.
