The short loopy M8 on my m70 243 suffers the same but only just. Never did anything about it but got a different scope to go on soon so that way fix it
Pretty standard design, Redfield/Burris and others. Possibly leupold in your case
For a start the rear base with the side adjustment screws is in the right place ie the rear. That is there to get the scope pretty close before you start using the scope adjustments.
I would suggest it looks it should be reversed so the 2 side screws are at the rear.
You have several options
You can get rings that have an offset bottom for just the purpose you require.
Or you get a completely different ring and base set
