Are there any ways to resolve a conflict with E402 and a shebang line without disabling it?

I work with a bunch of executable Python scripts and all the scripts has a shebang line (#!/usr/bin/env Python3). That line is followed by a "module docstring" and the module imports. But Ruff flags this usage with the E402 error message since it expects the modules to be placed higher up on the file. Unfortunately that isn't a possibility because without the shebang lines the scripts can potentially break.

So, are there any way around resolving this conflict without necessarily disabling the E402 message?

Do you mind including a minimally reproducible example, just to make sure there's no misunderstanding in the issue?

Oh my bad, we identified why we were facing this conflict on some of the scripts and not the rest. Turns out the conflicting scripts in question were written like this:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

"""
Module docstring describing the functionality of the script.
"""

"""
Another docstring which should instead exists AFTER the import statements
"""

# These import statements should be in between the two docstrings instead
import argparse
import platform
import subprocess

# ...rest of the script
