Default blower and radiator hose

The shop that put my blower back on left the radiator hose (I think that's what it is) touching the blower. I know that is use to not touch it but it's barely sitting on it now. What can I do to get it away from the blower so it won't burn a hole in the hose?

I definitely don't want to give you false information or lead you the wrong way, but since no one has answered yet I'll give this input. The install manual for my blower calls for us to cut a one inch section of hose from our radiator house, and then put it back together using a coupler. I'm assuming this pulls the hose away from the blower? Did they replace the hose on your car or something?

No they didn't replace it but it wasn't touching before.

Are you positive they didn't switch it? Is the coupling still in it? I would make sure your radiator is fully seating and then make sure the hose is on all the way.

Damn that reminds me that I need to move mine too. I just checked mine and it's touching on one spot. Not sure how much I can move it...maybe i'll order some header wrap and cover the part that touches.
