A temporary quick fix would be to cut a piece of salt treated 2 x 4 to fit snuggly into to the end of the square tubing between the ibeam and shackle.

Another thing. It appears the elbow in the picture looks like a short radius elbow. You should be able to replace it with a long radius elbow in the same size pipe. That should give enough clearance so you don't need the padding. You might even use 2 45 degree elbows for even more clearance. One male x female and the other female x female. Lowe's should carry the black ABS pipe and fittings.
