I'm facing the exact same challenge installing 50mm fenders on my Betty with Hetres. Haven't solved it yet but will be filing down the daruma bolt to shorten it enough so it doesn't rub.
The culprit is the silver front break, in my case. Will report once I'm done, but it might be a few days. I also tried using the L-adapter that comes for the rear fender since my Betty has the vertical screwed adapter so the rear fender can be attached directly to the seat stays bridge, but it wouldn't allow the sender to come low and close to the tire enough to follow the tire curvature and prevent the front of the fender from being pressed against the tire. Another issue with both the Hilsen and the Betty is that due to the front brake rear bolt, the daruma cannot be centered on under the fork. For safety reasons the brake bolt shouldn't be shortened and thus an extra piece of metal or a very large washer is required. Did you get a good fender line and is the daruma your only problem? Or you just saw the daruma bolt touching the tire and haven't gone any further? Let me know if you get other ideas to solve it.
