Default Drip pan and Dual tower

I just hooked up my dual tower and installed a drip pan into my granite. The problem I have is that the dual tower faucets drip onto the granite and miss the pan. I have the pan up against the base of the tower so there is now way to get them closer. Is there anything else to do or is this a common problem for dual towers?

What type of "dual tower" and size of drip tray.

I've never run into this problem with standard towers and matching trays.

I have a 3" tower and the driptray is right up against the base of the tower. The single faucet works fine, but the dual faucets hits the pan with full stream but when it is dripping it hits the edge of the tray because the faucets are angled when they come off of the tower and dont project out as far as the single faucet tower. Hope this helps.

If you don't have one already, you need a drip tower like this....

Default Cutout?

I have This One with a 3" MM dual tap tower and it's fine. I've used it with standard faucets and Perlick's and they both drip into it. It sits about 1/2-3/4" from the tower flange. Using the old eyeball, it looks like the faucets would drip into a tray without a cutout too, but it looks like it would be really close.
