I ended up cutting the line just above the fitting and reflared the line. The flare tool is fairly easy to use. It was the first time that I had ever used one. I had to bend the line fairly straight in order to slide the fitting back enough to use the flare tool. So you have to take your time to make sure you do not damage the line. You can see that I had plenty of clearance after modifying the line.

The last pics show the bracket tightened down into position.
