Von,
Been there, done that. Just bend the tab as you had mentioned and you should be fine. I don't like to see the spike 1 7/8" from center of furrow to inside edge of spike. I would rather be down in the 1 1/2" from center of trench to inside edge of spike narrowest point. If you have them set this way there is no way that they can disturb seeds unless you are on a very tight contour or you plant around corners.
