LO23 Clone, Shifter Lockout Install

Hi, I'm trying to mount the reverse lockout mechanism on my 68 Dart with A833 and Comp Plus shifter. Something does not seem right. When I sandwich the mechanism between the mounting adapter and the shifter mechanism, the pawl that moves as the RED stick moves fore and aft, would be pinched as I tightened down. The last photo tells the story, Thoughts, don't hold back...I'm willing to be the exception to the "its idiot proof" rule. JPIMG_0058.jpg IMG_0057.jpg IMG_0059.jpg
