Really hard to get side panel on as AIO tubes in the way

A Silver

I have a Corsair 460x case and a Corsair H100i V2 and I find it really hard to get the glass side panel on as the tubes for the AIO are in the way. I did manage to get it on but I need to take off as the shroud on one of my GPU's is broken and I am planning on RMA'ing it (and also to dust my case) but I can not face it as it is such a pain to the panel back on. Any suggestions on how to keep the AIO tubes out the way as they stick out just a tad too much? When i got the side panel on I used friction to push the tubes down as I slid the side panel down but it wasn't easy and I don't feel happy putting a lot of pressure on the glass or the tubes. I attached a photo which shows that the tubes are touching the glass (ignore the cat in the corner)

They might be too stiff to move, especially since there's fluid in there. I'd just leave it be.

Only issue it I am going to RMA one of my GPU's (edited topic as I forgot to mention that) as the shroud is broken so I have to take it off sooner or later.

I had a similar issue, but I used a zip tie to keep the tubes together which prevented the inner most tube from pushing out the outer most tube. I can't tell from your pic of that's what is going on though.
