You should be able to bend the strips up enough with a heat gun. I had no real problems with a Night Heron, which is pretty much the same.

What is wrong with cheater strips? Done properly, they are invisible.

Another possibility if you are paranoid about bending the strips up is to rip a couple down to about 12 or 15mm and they will bend a lot more easily.
