Vette valve cover clearance

Guys, I have a 97 LT1 from a camaro z28 with Alum heads but during the rebuild I installed some roller rockers that I purchased from summit. Well now i ended up going with the vette accessory set up due to the ac pump clearance, and I got the valve covers for an even swap of my stock powdercoated ones. So now something is hitting and not letting the valve cover seat all the way down. I don't know if it's the top of the poly lock or the little fins inside of the cover. Anyone have any advice or experience with this?

Most likely the oil drip tabs, they need to be removed with the use of aftermarket rockers.
