Either route them slightly differently so that they flex in a different position, tie them to the 'bones in some way, or restrict the amount of lock by modifying the rack.

Form a coil or S bend to the end - this should allow you some clearance lock to lock.

slacken off the locknut & rigid pipe at the chassis end & put a SLIGHT twist in the flexy, you will know which way to twist it by the result,when your happy tighten up the locknut & the rigid pipe

My flexis connect higher up on the side panel. I added a twist to them so they kind of self coil up slightly and therefore dont foul on anything.
