    not sure which hose you mean but something is obviously out of line lol, id just move or carefully bend whatever needed to give it some clearance if it was possible without DAMAGING anything-or if its the rubber power steering hose maybe you could put a new longer one in or shorten it or something to take up slack or give slack ect, you can buy power steering hose by the metre at car parts stores...

    Maybe you could use a cable tie to move the power steering hose away from the radiator hose.

    Try loosening the radiator hose clamp, then give the hose a bit of a twist so they dont touch and then tighten up the hose clamp again.
