Vespatronic stator fit on ss180

I just bought a Vespatronic kit from SIP for my SS180.  Everywhere that I read, it says that it is a direct fit.  The stator plate does fit well, but once you try to mount the coils, the 5 wrapped wires will not fit under the stator plate in order to rout them behind the plate and then up into the hole in the case.  You can only bend the wires so far before you begin to crack the sealant where the wires are soldered onto the stator. I don't want to cut any of the case away in order to fit the wires behind the stator.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
