I just had the alum one in there as an orientation thing as I had a bunch of
those lying around. I wanted to know which steel one to buy. Using the
longer fuel line worked fine.

I seem to recall a special Lycoming P/N fuel line fitting #6 all steel
that threads into the carb with a jam nut with a "O" ring to seal. You
have a normal aluminum fitting threaded into the carb. I would go with
the steel fitting.
Now for your clearance problem. Can the 90 degree carb fitting rotate
up and a 45 fitting be added to route your feed line away from the
exhaust work ? I have used universal steel 45's and 90's (JIC) #6 to do
such routing.
I also recall the Lycoming steel nipple being "O" ringed just for this
case where you need exact orientation AND fuel sealing. Without the "O"
ring thingy you are at the mercy of snugging the tapered pipe threaded
fitting of the standard fitting down to disallow fluid leaking but not
aligning as needed......
