Shock clearance

Installing new shocks to a new axle and had to weld old lower shock mount to a new lower plate, it appears to be in the same place as the old one. However, when I went to install my new shocks the top part of the shock hit the backing plate of my brakes. I can move the top mount to give me clearance of about a 1/4", see attached picture, and would that be enough................thanks
