Default how to lower this sensor

I need to know how to lower the sensor that is attached to the stock air system. I don't know which sensor it is, maybe MAF, but i dunno. I got it a little bit lower so that it doesn't hit my dc strut tie bar, but I need it lower b/c if it ever shifts, it still hits the bar.

Any ideas on how to lower it? I need some details b/c I have no info!

This is what I did, I was able to shift the air tube a bit such that the sensors are lower (pic follows). Is there anything wrong with what I did? Is it a wise thing what I did?
