interference between wires and connectors

As seen in the attached screenshots, when I create wires, the end of the wire intersects the plane of the pin (because the center of the wire's end face is coincident with the pin, and the wire is not perpendicular to the pin's plane). I can add points to the wire directly above the pin to make the wire's end face closer to being parallel with the pin's plane. Because Inventor automatically shapes the wire so that the curves are smooth along its entire length, I can't get the end of the wire perfectly straight, and it always interferes with the blue connector part even if I add four or five points directly above the pin.

Is there a way to adjust the wire and get rid of the interference? Or do users generally ignore the interference in that situation?
