Default Torque Converter bolts making contact with engine rear cover.

Hey, my torque converter bolts are making just the slightest contact with the engine rear cover. Should i really worry too much, i know the alumnium will just wear enough for clearance. Or could this be a bigger problem? like i might need a crank spacer for my TCI flexplate?

I figure this is because of me using ARP TC bolts instead of the OEM which have a shorter head.

I'd definitely worry about it....a slight grinding on the head of the bolts is probably your best choice, don't rely on the aluminum to "wear down", if your luck is bad the bolts could grab the cover and mangle it badly.....
