Unhappy FUCAS Hitting Shock Tower (Uh-Oh)

So Ive raised up my front about an inch and a half by now and I still cant get the Front Upper Control Arms to sit down right without hitting the shock tower. I have SPCs and once I get the vehicle to ride height the things go all the way to the top of the tower, There has to be a way to be low and get these things torqued down without hitting the tower right??
I DO NOT WANT TO CUT HOLES ON THE TOP. That is something that I wont do, but there has to be some trick to get them right???

***FOUND PROBLEM***
Front Upper Control Arms were installed backward by previous owner. Will update later.

**** Edit from last post, after inspecting FUCAS closer, they were not on backwards, but good thing I took them off and re installed them. They needed to be re torqued, the bolts were lose***

I believe I still have the same problem... would aftermarket FUCAS fix this problem? Maybe Serial nine or T demand FUCAS? I noticed they are angled a certain way. Any help is appreciated.

There was a thread about SPC FUCA would hit and they were cutting holes on the top. i wonder if the Megan FUCA would hit as well.

serial nine, nagisa, or tdemand fucas would all help. rcas would also help. shortening the steering knuckle would be the best way
