Just cut em off. I hate to do that, especially on the nice big healthy ones. You just know they're bringing in lots of nice sugars and stuff to make the plant strong. I think it's more important though, that shoots you care about get direct light. In this last grow I got to the point where I just did not have anywhere to physically put the fan leaves, so I had no choice but to cut them off or let them shade buds. The latter aint happening.

Cutting or pinching them off is a very last resort for me, but it must be done sometimes. First I will try bending them out of the way instead of tucking them underneath. If you pinch them gently, or roll the stem between your fingers while pressing gently (causing slight damage), sometimes you can get them to bend out of the way somewhere and keep growing that direction for the most part.

Also sometimes you can cut the leaves in half or third to solve the problem.
