Default Whiteline 24mm front swaybar issue

I have a 2011 WRX STi 5-door (hatchback) and purchased the Whiteline Front 24MM adjustable Sway Bar (BSF39XZ) and Whiteline endlinks (KLC32). After installation I found out that there is very little room between the sway bar and the tie rod (less than a finger's width) and the end of the sway bar is hitting the tie rod when the steering wheel is at full lock.

I installed the sway bar while the car was on ramps to keep the suspension under load. The end links were installed according to the directions with the washers and spacers in the correct places. There is no possible way I can get the end links any more vertical. The bar seems like it is too short or the bend isn't quite right. With it like this I can't use the other adjustment hole or the bar would be right up against the sway bar.

Any ideas?
