Need some help on tranny linkage on v6 with body lift

Ladies and Gentleman,
I desperately need your help. I did a body lift on my 07 f150 v6. Problem is they don't make a lift for a v6. Everything worked perfect except for the transmission linkage.

The dial is off on the dash which is no big deal. When you're in drive the indicator is in between the N and D. When you put it in park the key comes out like you're in park but the truck will roll with a slight ticking. I'm thinking it's just not able to get the truck in park.

I need some creative ideas on how to get the bracket as close to stock (only moved up 3 inches) or if it's possible to adjust the cable to work right. Right now I have to use parking brake every time and start in neutral.

First I'll show you the original bracket that I bought another of.

In this photo I show where the original stud mates up to the transmission.

Is this part adjustable?

Here is where it ends. Don't know if there's anything can be done here.
