HELP with Pelican 1650 and LX90!!

Heya Guys!

I got a little question for you:

I just got my Pelican 1650 for my LX90 and while I absolutely love the case, I have a slight problem. Basically the LX90 is too tick for the case, so I had to cut out some of the foam that was on the lid; I had to remove some of it to decrease the thickness.

Now, when I go to close the lid, I have to apply, a very light pressure to close it. I can see the lid bending outward just a little. BUt still that means that the OTA touches it.

this is a picture of the lid showing how far open it remains before I have to apply the pressure to close it.

Should I be worried about deforming the OTA? The pressure is not a lot , really.

sad Help! and thanks!
