Default Novak cable linkage issues

I have this thing almost on and the shift lever hits the tranny bracket Novak thinks my tcase is clocked high but I don't see how that causes this issue I have a np242 t case and what they believe is an aw4 tranny I'm not sure do I have the bracket mounted in the right place I have the selec trac 242 w part time 4wd I feel like I have installed it wrong

Did you figure out how to fix this? I have the exact same problem, my Shifter lever is hitting the transmission bracket.

NP231 and NP242 are the same linkage.

NP231 and NP242... like the Froelich one the center is just threaded rod. You can adjust if required
