From the question, it rather seems that the staves are too close
together, so if you increase the padding, then the
brackets will probably overlap even more. Rather, you might
want to use \tupletUp or \tupletDown (which is reset by
\tupletNeutral), to place the tuplets in the upper stave
above the stave or those in the lower stave below the stave.
