no matter what kind of filter youre using (apart from maybe those low profile ones), the part that holds on the lens cap should only make contact with the threads on the inside of the filter ring. You shouldnt have anything dragging across the glass. The cap will essentially sit on the edge of the threaded ring but shouldnt touch the glass.
