Normally I agree with Mark D. Lew out of the box on all things
relating to spacing (his posts a couple of years back on lyric
spacing were a Master's seminar), but in this case I would just shift
that left hand first beat (both notes) a little to the left so that
the stem UP note aligns with the right hand instead of the stem down
note. You have the extra space at the start of the measure already
because of the grace note in the right hand, so that saves you some
awkward manual spacing. It should be enough.
Unfortunately, there is no default setting I know of that keeps you
from having to do this by hand. I don't know why Finale can't avoid
collisions between augmentation dots and accidentals.

This is the default Finale spacing with two layers (note that the
left hand e in the second measure is dotted under the natural, or
should be!). Both layers have the "affects music spacing" box
ticked? Is there any way to get Finale to do any better than this?
Are there any settings I need to change? Using 2 voices instead of
2 layers gives the same result, by the way.
