Also make sure not to cinch the tie, and it looks like you could probably move the fender down and back a bit to create more clearance.

PS. These thing aren't fun when there's rock salt on the road as it easily builds up underneath the fender & you'll have to clean them off...
+1 on not cinching the tie too tight. If you do, it will deform the fender enough so that the front part of the fender dips down and will rub the tire. You may need to tweak the position of the support arms on the fork to get everything to sit right without rubbing. BTW, looks like you have enough clearance between the caliper and the tire...

I also had a problem where the front part of the fender was dragging on the tire. You can actually remove that front piece which is what I did initially. Then I found out I could get everything to fit correctly by loosening the ziptie slightly.
