Some hoses have a plastic circle thingy ma bob thats used to stop this, just fit one of them and itll be ok, failing that bend the bracket where the hose joins the pipe back a bit away from the strut and it should clear ok.

If you slacken the metal pipe where it joins the flexy pipe on the inner wing , you can turn the flexy pipe slightly so it moves away from the strut , you may get away without needing to bleed it if no fluid is lost , if you can see any fluid once its tightened back up , bleed it to be on the safe side
