Jäger 150W....touching filter sock?

I have a Jäger 150w in my small sump. The only location it can be touches my filter sock....is this a problem?

It is also very close to the bottom of the sump (acrylic)....if it touches it could it melt it?

I have seen heaters do some acrylic damage. The bag won't have any issues but I would make sure the heater is not resting on the acrylic.
