well i think drilling holes to pull it up farther up is still be a better idea than what i did.
once i get back from work tmrw im gonna tuck em through the engine bay. ill feel a lot better knowing theres no chance of my harness getting torn up.

You cannot reroute the wire harness through there with nothing but high hopes! No pun intended. Do it right, do it right the first time.

Same thing I did with mine until I do my swap. If you're stock this way is good to last, but if you're swapping the engine later on then I'd reroute it into the engine bay once the motor is out

at first i tried using zipties to tuck it up higher, but then i rubbed through those and i was back to square one. this method definitely is a must.

^^^ exactly. I don't know why people try and take short cuts to save a whole 10 minutes. This is a very simple job. Why not do it right the first time? Zip ties will not last and it will still rub if your actually low.

use adel clamps and tap screws.. im not a fan of more wires in the bay hence the reason why i tucked the rest . you just have to go higher and extend it 2 inches to get there.
