I can't picture how your image is but I can suggest something....

I don't know with you but I never liked the KPT glare. Use the Photoshop's glare on a layer mask in screen mode for better control of the layer. This way you don't destroy the original image.

Create a new layer above the torch or image layer and fill with black.

Add layer mask ( MENU>LAYER>ADD LAYER MASK>REVEAL ALL ).

Select and make active the mask (not image) icon in the layer pallete.

Create the glare. Tip: For more effects, apply the filter twice using different settings for the second apply. Don't move the crosshairs when doing this.

Set the layer properties to screen and lower opacity ( experiment with other properties for an effect you like )

You can now move the glare around and even rotate it.

Come to think about it, Ive never tried this with the KPT filter   . If you still prefer the effect of KPT, try this and tell me how it goes.

Hope this helps.
