Howdy and welcome.
Not much choice but cover the adjusters, unless you mount the scale on the chuck side which I think would be a bad idea.
I had to cover the screws on my Colchester Student but figured once its mounted, its easy enough to remove when the gibs need adjusted, which isn't that often in a hobby environment.

On my Summit the cross slide is big enough that the scale sits above the adjusters.
If your cross slide lock is toward the front (mine doesn't have one) maybe you could move the scale to the rear and clear it. I see I mounted mine beyond the back of the cross slide, the scale was probably longer than the casting.
Good luck

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
