Default Anyone have this problem with NW or NW-style CAI?

I have been noticing a burning smell after driving the SRT for 30 mins or longer. Took a couple drives to identify where it was coming from.

I installed my NW-style CAI earlier this year but never had a problem. It must have settled a bit and it now it is touching the top of the injector housing and eventually burning the plastic housing a little bit. Not much at all but enough to smell burning plastic when I pop the hood to smell-check.

I have verified the clamps are all tight but still notice the hot intake pipe is coming in contact with the injector housing.

I guess I should loosen and re-tighten all clamps to get it positioned a tad higher. I also thought of wrapping the affected part of the CAI with exhaust wrap.

Anyone else have this problem?
