Nerf Bar Installation and rear brake line

I just installed a set of nerf bars on my 2006 f150 standard cab. I'm not a mechanical type of guy hence this question. When I installed the front base for the bars, on the drivers side, the base tends to pinch the brake line that runs to the back of the truck. Atleast I beive this is a brakeline. The area where the base pinches the line has a tube around it, it's not the exposed part. Should I be concerned that the line is pinched between the base for the nerf bars and the body of the truck. Any advice would be helpfull. Thanks

It should not pinch any line at all. Could be a brake line or the fuel line. When I installed my nerf bars, I was able to move the lines slightly so they were out of the way. I would be concerned that it could it would rub aline in two as the truck flexes.
