Well, the reason it's hitting is because you modified it. Put it back the way it was. The arms do not go between the footrest and frame as they do on a NF. I can't remember exactly where they wind up, but it's such that they are inside the lift arms for the deck.
Make sure that you don't have the trip function locked out, or you'll bend something. As long as the blade can trip, you shouldn't have to worry about bending anything.
