Can PEX tubing be used as return line return on the top of the fins on the baseboard hot water heating register when a through the floor return is not practical?

With constant expansion and contraction, I'm concerned about the sharp tops of the heating fins waring holes in the PEX tubing over time.

Run the pex under the bottom or do not use the baseboard housing for a return line
