Try adding a bit of feedline. I know SWR is supposed to be the same along a feedline, but still, try it. Maybe adding a short jumper is all you need to make your amp happy.

I want to second that XXX.174 is a perfectly reasonable VHF, UHF,
microwave frequency for FT8. I wish we could have a do over on 6
meters but I know that ship has sailed. On 50.313 the SWR on my beam
is over 2 and my amplifier will not load into it. I guess I will have
to buy a tuner. Anyone out there got a tuner they want to sell that is
rated for 1 Kw on 6?
