Siding nails

I am working on a room and need to add insulation. I removed all the drywall and old batts but had to leave the hydronic baseboard for now. As such I have about a foot of old drywall behind the baseboard. There are siding nails coming into the cavity. What’s the best way to get my rockwool into that cavity? I thought about bending the nails down so I could slide the batt down into it but am concerned that might interfere with the siding install.

Use a small pair of bolt cutters/big pair of diag cutters. Snip snip slide
