Closeup of breaker:
I would just remove the divider if I were going to do it this way. If you are going to “stack nuts” to give you the clearance you need DO NOT use stainless steel nuts. Stainless is a very poor conductor and will cause a heat build up. Best would be to use a copper spacer or brass or bronze nuts.
So I think the best solution would indeed be to remove just enough of the divider to allow installing the busbar. Note: It would probably also be useful to either: still use a copper washer on the terminal or countersink the top-left mounting hole so that the screw does not touch the bus bar.
I have used a flavour of this type of breaker. In a nutshell, they are junk.
Erratic, sticky, generally more trouble than they are worth.
Im with Phil, I had a couple of these - they were rubbish, would trip with only half the load applied. Instead I went for properly rated fuses and separate (Blue Sea Marine) switches.
