I recently built my PC with a pre-selected parts list and added a 4070 Super separately. I've noticed that the tubes of my water cooler are touching both the glass panel and the GPU. While I gave the tubes a gentle push, they feel pretty rigid. I'm considering swapping the radiator to change the pipe direction, but I'm not sure if that would solve the problem. Here's a link to a picture for reference: https://imgur.com/a/uFmcjyC

Having the tubes touch the glass or GPU isn't usually a big deal as long as they're not applying too much pressure. If they feel secure and aren’t bent sharply, you should be okay.
If you're really concerned, tying the tubes with a zip tie might help. Just make sure it doesn’t pinch them or cause any extreme bending, as that could lead to issues later on.
It's generally okay for the AIO tubes to touch other components or the case walls, but just keep an eye on the pressure. If they start pushing against anything too hard, that could be a problem.
