Steering wheel plastic scraping noise

Hi, Hopefully someone can advise me on this problem im having.

Had the steering wheel off the other day to reposition it. however it seems to be too close to the dash now and the plastic is scraping off plastic. Its definately on correctly and in the correct position and drives fine but I imagine there is supposed to be a little gap between the wheel and dash - there isnt anymore and as a result the plastic on the steering wheel is scraping on the plastic of the dash part when i turn the wheel.

I should also mention that the indicators no longer auto turn off either.

Anyone any ideas on how to fix it or what might be causing it? thanks

Sorry - ive just noticed the Hyundai Accent forum - i should have mentioned this is a 99 Hyundai Accent im having the issue with
