Default Console Shifter Alignment Question

Is there an adjustment on the console shifter versions of these trucks to get the shifter/gear indicator to align properly when it is off a little? Mine isnt bad, but when I go into reverse I have to push the shifter forward a little to get it into gear. Just wondering if there is an adjustment in there somewhere. I have done it on column shift f150's, but never messed with a console shift. Any info is appreciated. Thank you.

I've been having the same issue plus mine only starts in neutral now. I found this video on youtube yesterday and ordered $11.00 bushings off Amazon last night hoping to fix it. .After crawling under my truck I can see my bushing is split and very sloppy with about 3/8" of play. There are other vids with different types of clips that attach to the shifter linkage but mine is just like the one in the vid.
