Attaching radiator to tongue and give covered wall.

Hello. Our radiator leaked and needs replacing. The gas engineer removed the old rad and old brackets pre covid. Recently a different engineer has turned up with a new rad and new brackets which do not give enough clearance for the rad to be fitted into the same space (slays cut in the wood panel). They’re suggesting that we simple remove the tongue and grove to fit the new rad. This will be costly and also not what my elderly parents want. We’d need 5-6 cm clearance to attach bracket to wall and clear wood panelling. Q: can we buy brackets with 6cm clearance? I’ve failed to find any via Google. Or any other ways we can do this with minimal disruption? Thanks everyone
