Ideally that strap shouldn't be touching your ear. The backstrap of the FX is notorious for slipping down the back of the head. But some of us have ears (or one ear) placed higher on our heads than average, and that can cause problems. So it will take a bit of detective work to figure out how to get that strap off your ear OR how to protect the ear from the strap.
Three things to try:
1) That back strap may be a bit too low. If you can tighten the top silicone strap a bit
without triggering the dreaded piggy nose, that may help. But if tightening that top strap triggers piggy nose, loosen it right back up. Because you don't want piggy nose---it's painful.
2) Put some velcro on the side of the strap that fits next to your head. This will help anchor the strap around the TOP BACK part of your head so that it should be passing ABOVE the ear. But if you've got an ear that's placed just a wee bit too high on the side of your head, this might not work without pulling the pillows out of alignment. In that case, look at idea 3.
3) Contact Padacheek. She can make a fleece cover that will cover the entire silicone part of the FX frame including that nasty little area at the temple where the velcro strap comes in. And that might help.
