cat back flanges clearance?

i just installed a tsudo fireball catback. the flanges that connects the pipes are flush and touching the underbody. does anyone else do that? doesent matter what brand either.

FRONT
R

{CAT{]====[]===(resonator)=[]==={Muffler]=

FRONT
L

Flanges are the []. the first flange is touching the body. no space between body and flange at all possible rattle problem in the long run.

after a test drive u can hear the rattling

i kno that the rattling is caused by the heat shield. im thinking about buying exhaust heat wraps removing the metal heat shield and wrapping that section of the cat back pipes.
