are you running the worlds shell? that has more room for tall fans. Another option might be to run a low profile servo which might enable you to move the ESC a little for better fitment (thats what I've done)

Sorry I didn't read that, I put my ESC opposite the motor. I've not installed the Novak personally tho. The Worlds shell has more room but I managed to fit my Nosram with fan without toooooo many problems.

One of the people at my club has it installed behind the motor infront of the cells. I have my lrp sphere tc there too. It is tight but it does fit, then you have the motor tabs forward and the wires running flat across the top and soldered infront. This should give you a low enough profile to fit underneath the shell.
