Hood Damper/ Hood struts?

Do any hood struts fit 1st Gen legacys? Have a set for a GC RS, and while everything bolts together beautifully, the hood won't close due to the strut bodies hitting the water channel on the fenders.
TIA

Can you take a little bit of metal out of the water channel to make them work correctly?

Up north here in Canada we have this great place to buy all kinds of fun stuff like those hood struts called Princess Auto.
I'll grab a pair that will fit next time I'm there.
