On my Westy I have the same problem. Be careful you don't rip the canvas. I've not got round to having a look at it properly yet. But you could probably put a few washers as spacers to push it out slightly.

I'm on the beacons, lovely spot looking right down a valley. Beautiful views.
The awning is a right pain, when you lower the roof, gunzles brackets sit on the awning so you need someone to just push them in slightly to clear the awning. Spacers won't work because the top of the awning slots into the awning bracket. Looks like all you can do is bend the bracket?

Wasn't just the bolt, gunzles brackets actually sat on the awning when roof was lowered.
A slight tweak of the gutter, and now it clears fine
