Default Ring brothers hood hinges looking for a solution

I got a good deal on these hood hinges and they are the ones that are for a 70-81 F body. The problem is I am running the G braces from Pro touring F body and are in the way for the bottom attachment for the struts to attach. I was able to flip the bottom attachment to point up instead of down but those are the only two options. The problem is now the struts do not fit and are way too long. I need a pretty short strut that I haven’t been able to find and I’m not sure struts this short even exist. I need ones about 5.9 inches long extended. Are there any options you guys can think of to make these work? Adjustable struts of any kind? A custom spring maybe? I figured I would ask for some ideas before I just put the stock ones back on and sold these. Thanks as always!
