Default Rear Track Bar Brace affecting Coil

Hey everyone,

probably about a year ago now, i installed the SkyJacker 2.5" Suspension lift. In the kit came the rear track bar relocation bracket and a brace for it. I was underneath the jeep the other day and noticed that my coil was at an awkward angle. When i looked, i noticed that at the top where it connects to the frame, it had been knocked out of place. I scuffled with it for about an hour or so and then i noticed that near the bottom of the coil, it was interlocked with one of the screws from the track bar brace. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem or and tips or tricks for fixing the problem.

At this point im probably just going to rent a coil compressor from autozone and just reposition it that way but if anyone has any other ideas im all ears.

Heres some pictures, sorry for the bad quality, all i have is my cell phone.

Spring retainers or clamps wouldn't be a bad idea either
