Wondering if heat pipes touching my fan is safe.

I have both the heat pipes of my gtx 970 and cpu cooler touching my side panel fans. I just noticed today and was wondering if that is safe to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I wouldn't leave it like that , will eventually cause issues.

What type of issues are you talking about? Any if that's an issue is there any way you can suggest some low profile 120mm side fans?

It touches on the plastic of the fan.
