Tranny linkage help

I am going to measure that piece tomorrow. For now I turned the linkage upside down from the way I had it. Adjusting bolt on top and cotter pins to the ground. It now clears the nuetral safety switch.Did I have it mounted wrong to begin with?

I had to do the same thing on my Cuda. According to the pics in the service manual it was supposed to go one way but when I put it that way it hit the switch. I turned it around and it worked fine.
