Thank you for the link to a shorter set, it looks like those will be a perfect fit for proper clearance. I'm going to order those (very affordable too!). For the time being I moved the cable to the bottom of the clamp bolt and ground the top of the interfering caliper arm down to clear the rack frame, but left enough metal for the clamp bolt to still be strong and hold the cable tight.
Thank you again.
