GRX RD812 no clearance for cassette on Kona Rove LTD?

I've built a bike or two, but this is throwing me for a loop. 2022 Kona Rove LTD, fitting it with a Shimano GRX RD (812) against a XT CS-M8000 cassette. But there's literally no clearance between the back of the RD and the cassette to the point I can't tighten the axle.

I thought the Rove and it's hanger were compatible with GRX? It also feels like the barrel adjuster is crazy close to the frame.

Baffled.

CAAD 12 built up this Spring...

Hands down my most favorite bike, having come from riding Trek aluminum, Specialized carbon, and Litespeed titanium. Happy to have finally discovered Cannondale and the wider family!
