Unable to remove strange brim/raft around the model

The print is basically a pipe with a roof. The support is needed, but the strange rectangular brim around the print is just a waste of filament, as it isn't even touching the model anywhere. Also, my bed adhesion is very good and I don't need the support raft, which I cannot disable either. In my settings, the bed adhesion is

So is there a way to stop it from wasting filament on the mandatory raft here?

Also change the type of support to snug, that is obviously grid, which is the most wasteful and expands out the furthest.
