I take it you mean where the lug of the caliper meet's the plate in the middle of the pic?

cant you just grind a bit off the plate to clear it?

Like said above just get the grinder out till it clears id have a go at putting your hub on aswell because you might have to take abit off the bolt heads so the hub spins freely

Does the hub still spin freely once the nuts done up mine just caught the corners of the bolts that hold the mounting plate on
