Paragraph tags being added automatically in hotspot fallback tooltips

I’m using WordPress 4.8 with Enfold theme 4.0.7. It seems this problem has been addressed before, but I can see that it hasn’t been fixed according to the changelog 2015 March 24th – Version 3.1.2. I decided to check HTML validation https://validator.w3.org knowing there were going to be errors, but wasn’t expecting to see so many “open” paragraph tags. It seems there continue to be paragraph tags inserted into div.av-hotspot-fallback-tooltip-inner:

<div class='av-hotspot-fallback-tooltip'>
    <div class='av-hotspot-fallback-tooltip-count'>1
        <div class='avia-arrow'></div>
    </div>
    <div class='av-hotspot-fallback-tooltip-inner clearfix'>
        </p> <!-- closing paragraph -->
        <h4 class="hotspot_title">Absorber Plate</h4>
        <p>Utilizing a state-of-the-art ultrasound weld, copper fins and risers provide superior thermal connectivity between the fins and risers. Revolutionary coating is black chrome on nickel, producing a premium selective surface with maximum efficiency for solar energy use.</p>
        <p>Absorptivity = 0.95<br class="break" />Emissivity = 0.12</p>
        <p><!-- opening paragraph -->
    </div>
</div>
<div class='av-hotspot-fallback-tooltip'>
    <div class='av-hotspot-fallback-tooltip-count'>2
        <div class='avia-arrow'></div>
    </div>
    <div class='av-hotspot-fallback-tooltip-inner clearfix'>
        </p><!-- closing paragraph -->
        <h4 class="hotspot_title">Tubing Grid</h4>
        <p>½” copper risers are brazed to 1” copper mainfolds for optimal flow distribution.</p>
        <p><!-- opening paragraph -->
    </div>
</div>

Those are two div blocks from viewing source that clearly show paragraph tags being inserted automatically. I can’t stand how WordPress automatically inserts paragraph tags so I add the following to the functions.php file in enfold-child:

remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );
remove_filter('the_excerpt', 'wpautop');

Is there a filter that will do the same for Avia framework? In the file /wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/image_hotspots.php I have found ShortcodeHelper::avia_apply_autop($content) and tried changing it to ShortcodeHelper::avia_remove_autop($content), but it doesn’t seem to be working. I’m trying to override the file with a copy of image_hotspots.php in the enfold-child folder like so: /wp-content/themes/enfold-child/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/image-hotspots.php. I know overriding files in the child theme’s folder can be tricky if they’re not in the correct path so maybe I don”t have it setup correctly??? Otherwise any solution to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated.
