Need help with small change to the Starting Script

I recently printed a mount for a custom blower for the left extruder on my flashforge creator dual. What is happening now is that during the starting script portion of the print the extuder moves to what i believe is the right front corner of the bed as per this line of the starting script: G1 X100 Y-73 F9000 ; Move to front right corner of bed. What happens is that my new blower then slams against the plastic rail mounts. I want to offset the gcode a smidge so it stops right before the slam. Ill try and post a picture of exactly what im talking about.

Im a bit of a noob so ill admit that I dont know much about gcode modifications. I appreciate whatever advice anyone can give.

Hmm.. what mount are you using? I also installed a custom blower fan, but mine doesn't have any issues hitting the side of the bot. Can you post a picture of your printer?

And all you need to do is change the XYZ coordinates that it moves to. So if it's moving too far in the X-axis (i.e. left to right), then increase the X-value. A more negative X-value moves the printer further to the left. S3D shows the coordinate system arrows in the main window, so it's pretty easy to see what changes to these values will do.
