The lower support arm of the SKS Bluemels I fitted to my Marin Kentfield 2 are in contact with the brake calliper and every little bump causes it twang against it. Has anyone else had this issue or have a fix for it?

You bend them around it on install.
Not Bluemels here, but same idea.

My 28 SKS Matt came with some black thick spacers that you can use to offset the mounting point. I had the same issue and resolved it this way.
Were they not included?
In case, you can buy them separately or use some third party ones. You will also need longer bolts.
