Tubeless Valve for Narrow Rims
Picked up some Muc Off valves for my Giant P-R2 wheels. With this valve there is not enough space between the rim and valve flange. Tires are Vittoria Rubino Pro G2,0. What valve would work for my application?

Odds are that you can file the round base to a "racetrack oval". Just be sure to round off all edges when finished.
Since I've not seen either your specific valve or rim, it's up to you to decide whether this seems feasible.

I returned the valve I had. I thought about filing the flange, but it thought it would be compromised with the amount material to be removed. The pictured valve looks like it should work.
