i don't know if this will work for you, but i had a job a few years back with wider than standard seams. i contacted the mfgr and they said it was ok to crush the seam under the proposed s5 location with channel locks.
granted, these seams were just over the 1/2" width and tapered/opened wider as the seam went top to bottom, so most of the crushing happened towards the pan. as i torqued them i had to apply pressure from the top to prevent them from moving up to the narrower part (top) of the seam. in the end, it all worked fine.

Hi Folks,
Does anyone know of an S-5 or similar non-penetrating metal roofing clamp that will attach to a 1” wide standing seam? We normally use S-5-S, but these only accommodate ½” wide seams.
