Flex-bend on downpipe is pressed against back of transmission

On my 1996 Audi A4 1.8T I have added a new sports downpipe and a cat replacement pipe. My car has an automatic transmission, but the downpipe is designed for A4's with manual transmission. When test-fitting, everything seemed fine. But after tightening up everything, the flex bend on the downpipe is in contact with the back of the tranny. It is pressed hard against a cooling rib on the transmission, so there is no movement.

 

Is this a problem, or can I just leave it like this? As it is pressed so hard against it, I guess it won't move and make sounds? The downpipe is after the cat by the way, so it is a bit away from the turbo, thus heat transfer shouldn't be a big problem I guess.

 

What do you guys think???????
