WCP 2 CIM DS Flipped Shifting Problem

Hi all, we recently assembled one of our flipped gearboxes, and when we had finished we noticed that the cylinder did not retract enough to engage the low gear. Our pneumatic is in the non-WCD position and we disassembled the backflip shifter that came with the gearbox to use the square pancake (because nobody listened to the person who said the WCD configuration needed a different cylinder).
Our plan is to make longer spacers for the pneumatic mount, to allow the cylinder to fully expand and retract.
Has anybody else run into this problem? Has anybody got a better idea for repair?
