Good news, I bought 1/2 inch hard rubber spacers and put them under the skid plate and now it clears the oil pan. I have installed now so far so good. Maybe in a week I will take the bolts off and put some lock on them to be semi permanent.

It’s the oil pan that is making contact. Going to try some 1/2 inch rubber spacers and see if that works tonight
👍🏻👍🏻
I'm glad you possibly found solution to the rubbing problem.
I think @Hot Runr Guy and @Bdesign
may be on to something .
2025 and 26 that's engine with a few design changes possibly a larger oil pan?
According to a post I saw/replied to on FB last night, Rival is looking for a 25/26 EB in the Houston area to look in to the fitment issue, so they aren't completely ignoring you.
HRG
MPC EB takes more oil- 6.1 qts so pan may be deeper
