A bit extreme but i split mine in half and pulled all the gel stuff out of the inside plus cleaning it with a file to make the channels flow better. It works well now but you do need a higher flow rate, over half was round the dial for me.
The thing about the olier tip touching the sprokect I found this allowed the tip to get bunged up with dirt from the sprocket so I moved it

I've done all the bleeding, pressurising, checking for kinks, jet unblocking stuff you're supposed to do in thes ecircumstances bit it's still reluctant to do anything useful.
It's got the blue oil in it which I think is the right stuff.
Any ideas?
As for the original question, as long as the injector does not get sucked back into the chain when you push the bike backwards, having it touch the sprocket is not an issue. My old one was like that for about 15,000 miles. Pipe got a bit short eventually, but each time I put it on a paddock stand it got mangled so I gave up trying to keep it perfectly located and just as long as it ended up somewhere between the sprocket and the outside of the chain it seemd to do it's job perfectly well.
