hurst quarter stick shift lever help

Running fresh rebuilt 727 with a hurst quarter stick shifter on my 73 scamp.

Having trouble with the hurst provided shift lever. It hits the side of the transmission preventing park to correctly engage.

Should I remove material from the new shift lever with my grinder to clearance it?

Should I use the stock lever?

If stock lever is used should I re drill the hole matching center to center measurements for correct cable throw.
