You may find this mod ODD but I am not the first!
Here is the concept:
pic #1 shows how lazy jacks force the sail into a small narrow area at the base of the boom.
pic #2 shows that by adding wings to the boom at the lazy jack locations, the sail has more area to fall into.
pic #3 is an example of one installation I found.

Pic #3
So here are some other designs that I used as a guide.
I added a stand off at each lazy jack location.
My welder made what looks like a large hand rail with round pads for feet to attach to the boom. All made of aluminum so as to not add weight.
The two pics below are a test fit to the boom in my cramped basement.
Boom painted two coats!!!
