If the wires don't drop straight down from the guide rail, but instead head back to the top flanges, or if the top flanges angle toward you, I'd shim the damper tray mount blocks out, and re-bend the wires. You may not even have to do any bending - just straighten the heads. It doesn't take all that long, assuming it doesn't mess up the leverage on the pitman dowel or something else weird.
