Might be the bottom radiator hose is on backwards. Swap it end for end & see if that doesen't help.

It actually rubbing right over the hose clamp. Seems to be some kind of cast aluminium "y" thing that it clamps onto. TB

It's not rubbing on the screw part of the clamp but a smooth surface of the band.
