I noticed the same thing on my wings.

I just (over) squeezed that rivet a bit, and got a bit of breathing room.

It looked to me like the space between the spar flange and the step bar was sufficient to 'hold' a shop head, so I didn't worry about it. Looked like part of the design...

This has been discussed in the past - well-known issue. Over-squeeze the rivet to get the clearance. I really don't think you want the rivet rubbing against the spar.......
