You could solve this easily by adding this piece, a shifter linkage:

It allows at least an inch of adjustment….you have to re-align the cables but you will have enough slack. TIP: Mount the shifter linkage IN FRONT of the plastic threads on the cable. That way the cable CANNOT come loose.

The part is pricey but worth it…you will not have to worry about failure!

I have seen ads for that but the installations shown shows that piece only on the shift cable (the black one) never on the selector cable (the blue one). BTW the ends that fasten to the shifter are different from each other.
