Perhaps making another mounting slot closer to the pipe could pull it outboard to open up some more room too

Hey Chris!
Just back from a winter wheeling trip near Calico. Company was great; sleeping in the bed of the 45 when it’s 30 degrees outside, not so much.
You also might have some luck using a spacer between the mounting tab for the coolant pipe and where it mounts to, placing the outlet to the radiator lower.
Something like this perhaps?

There is some play with how the hoses connect at either end too and allow for a bit of rotation.
Here's how I mounted the 60 coolant pipe to the 40. I bent the mounting tab and the bottom is pointed to the passenger side. Maybe you could rotate yours outboard first.
Here is how it's mounted in my 60. It's a pretty tight tolerance between the belt and pipe.
