1965 Dodge Dart headlight switch rod and knob.

I just replaced the headlight switch, and I discovered I have 2 issues.

The rod that was with the car is too short. I can get it in, but it is such a short piece left outside the rod that when I pull it out and mount the knob I can only turn off the headlights. Not the parking/tail lights. Where can I find a longer rod ? The rod looks like it has been broken off in the end that is supposed to sit in the knob.

Issue number two, well, here I don't know what to say. But the knob appears to be identical to the wiper switch knob, so it is sort of made for a round shaft with that flat on one side. It is possible to mount it on the triangle rod, but not very sturdy. Is this as it was originally ?

What am I missing ?
