Thermostat Housing Out!! Need help

So my thermostat housing went out the other day and I bought a replacement part but it won't fit!!

The bleeder valve and the temp sensor seem to get in the way of the fuel pump!!

I don't know what to do next. Has anyone run into these problems!??

You got the wrong version. Thermostats had multiple revisions. Check the picture before purchasing to make sure it will fit. I made the same mistake. Be sure to get the right wiring harness for the two sensors too

So then it's going to be this new version with the sensor facing at an angle right?

This housing is for the N18 engine (2011-2015). This should be the correct one. you will also need the adapter for the sensors since the original wiring has only one 4pin plug.
