Default Shifter not centered

While fixing up the interior of my car I installed a brand new shift bezel with shift boot. However, I knew my stick wasn't exactly centered where... when moving it into First and Second gear it was getting close to the E-Brake. However it proved no functional issue and shifted smoothly. Yet, now that I have the bezel on, it added about another inch or half an inch of plastic to the area. So now when shifting into First and Second I hit the plastic shift bezel, It's not knocking it hard or putting too much pressure, it all still works. However, I know eventually I will crack the bezel or center console.

Is there any way that I can easily move over my gearbox? I'm a bit of a beginner to all this car stuff (was a sportbike rider, but sold the bike for the SC) So I've been doing everything following the awesome DIY threads. But is there any easy way I can move it over and center it? Apparently the swap was done and runs smoothly but I noticed this minor issue.





So yeah I'm hoping this isn't a big issue and has a quick fix or something not too technical. If anyone has any insight it'd be a lot of help Thanks in advance.

You may want to check the drive train mounts, especially the transmission mount.
