Default 150cc intake

I just installed a hammerhead stock 150cc in my buggy which is a Roketa GK-28.the problem I have now is that the the carb is setting to low and the intake part that the air filter attaches to is in the middle of a bar on the top swing arm.so can I go with a higher intake or will I lose any power

If you go to a higher manifold, it will probably be a little longer as a result. Generally a longer runner is better for low end and mid range, and the shorter runner will produce more top end. It all deals with wave pulses bouncing back and forth. However, that being said, I really doubt you will see any difference unless the length change is extreme.

I saw the same intake, decent looking unit, and priced right.

The roketa originally had a gy6? The carb cleared the bar? Use the original intake!
