The right way to do it but a PIA would be to pull the rear plastic so you could see inside the airbox with the seat base on. As far as fixing filters, hot melt glue seems to work well on good clean foam.
Any chance you could take a picture of the lip under your seat?? Maybe provide a few measurements.

I thought it may have been a burred edge from the casting process and have cleaned them all up. Still appears to be happening though.

Hot stanley knife would have to be the best tool for the job you'd think.
