Please don’t judge, I’m probably missing something huge here, I’m not sure so I would love it if someone directed me towards the rule prohibiting this. Thanks!

You already have the answer in the rules that you can not contact an opponents ball (G32). However G34 allows you inconsequential contact, no effect on outcome and really for safety reasons to stop a ball from droping on a drivers head (ouch).
