Are there other needle positions on your machine that will allow the needle to pass without hitting? Otherwise, I suspect the accessory you have is not installed correctly or is not correct for your machine.

Time for a tune up and the timing to be reset. People tend forget that machines do need to be serviced once in a while, it will be well worth it. Just remember it is a machine, just like your car.

Check the timing of the needle to the hook.
Here is a guide to generic principles of Timing

Your needle is probably to long or you need to open it more

It happend to me aswell , not getting the source of the problem!
Then I noticed that the bobbin casing was out of the original position, take the whole casing out and make sure that when you put it back that the small metal tension loop at the front side on the right is correct, this image you can see in your handbook, (placement of the bobbin casing)

Take the needle plate off and turn the needle up and down by hand while watching to see if it is hitting anything. The hook timing could be off.
