The little voices in my head keep telling me "build more guitars"
What strings/gauge are being used and how are they fixed? A 0.090" E would be more flexible than a 0.105" E here and may sit better . Difficult to see much detail in the pics. Are they normal strings with the ends cut off?
Is it a question of finding strings where the fat bit ends just as it goes over the zero fret, so just the thinner bit goes through the clamp? If you measure carefully, you may find that some brands of medium scale bass strings have just enough wound length - though it's an expensive experiment if they don't or the wound section is too long! And my experience is that regardless of what the official wound length is, the fully wound length can vary considerably.
