It's best to avoid touching the sides because, if they do, mold could develop between the leaf and the plastic or glass. It will still work if they touch.
It says in the article you can cut the leaves in half so they don't touch. Or, if you are using a plastic bag, you can blow into it to inflate it to keep the leaves off the sides as much as possible. Then use a twist tie to close the opening and keep the air inside.
