Anyone ever have this problem with the radiator hose???

I noticed a couple of weeks ago that the plug that goes into the top of my alternator (stator I believe?) was in bad shape and that shaking the wires produced a spark show So I ordered a replacement plug from 5.0 resto and soldered it on last weekend. Problem is the upper radiator hose seems to be laying on it and melting it! It looks as though I have enough clearance with the hood open. But I think the hood is pushing it down just enough to touch and it has already melted a small spot in the corner of the new plug. Ideas??

My sleeve is in place , but it isn't stopping it.

It really isn't touching any of the wires it's the edge of the plug that it is resting on. If you are looking at the engine from the front then the left hand corner of the plug is what the hose is resting on.
