How to stop this part from rubbing? (Stanced people should be able to help!)

I changed tires to a skinnier tire but it gave me only ~3mm more clearance but it is still rubbing on this part (not my picture):

The fenders are already rolled from factory and I used an eastwood fender roller to flatten it more but that part was already flat either from factory or from lots of rubbing.

That is a problem area for a lot of cars, and generally the conclusion is that you need to modify the mounting area, like in the post above.

I just double checked, I am not exactly rubbing on the tabs, but I am rubbing on the fender right before the bolts. This is maybe 5mm away from the bolts / tabs.

There is a bulge in the inner fender liner that you must also cut away.
