Oil filter too close to cooling hose?

I put on a Napa oil filter last week. it's a few inches taller than stock merc filter, so it is about .25-.5 inches away from the cooling hose that goes from the thermostat housing to the transmission oil cooler. I imagine the clearance will get tighter as the hose heats up and expands. I am wondering if the filter would melt the hose if it came in contact or cause other issues. I can swap out for a smaller filter, but would like to keep that one on if it's not going to matter. 07 Merc Black Scorpion. Pic attached.
Thanks in advance.
