Undo the wiper arm nut, press the 'elbow' sprung hinge on the wiper arm toward the screen, it'll probably move an inch, retighten nut.
The spring in the arm stops the spline seating properly, so it leaves the arm at an angle to the mounting spindle, and will touch the bonnet.
Been there, worked that one out......
Wipers make no difference as the pivot point is outboard of the bonnet anyway, you can lift the wiper blades inches off the screen and the arms still won't touch the bonnet
