When i tried to install something similar, it attached to the outside position and the chainring was too large to run inside my spider without hitting the frame
ANY spider mounted chainring guard or bottom bracket mounted guard should NOT require that you move your chainring to the inside of the spider!
With all due respect, it's possible you either installed the guard wrong, or the guard did not come with the appropriate mounting hardware (extended bolts).
In other words, that Driveline guard (I posted pics of above) does come with the proper bolts and allows you to install it on the OUTSIDE of the chainring... and the chainring is stillin the same exact place it originally was located.. against the outside of the spider.
I have the same guard.... I just took this picture of it to illustrate how it's connected to the spider: Spider > Chainring > spacer > Guard
