1st hard to engage only sometimes

I recently installed a 997 shifter in my 02 Boxster S.
Although it seemed fine dry testing it before re-installing the center console (never did not go into 1st or any other gear), I occasionally am not able to put it in 1st after being in neutral when engine running. This happens when I'm at a red light, not when cold/hot. I'll sometimes try to rev the engine up to make it engage, but I fin that I just have to try a couple times until it goes into 1st. Not a show stopper, but it has happened at the track when I'm trying to pull out of grid and is somewhat embarrassing

I noticed that when installing the new 997 shifter, that the centering tool was worthless as I did not have enough adjustment on the cable for left/right when I used the tool. I'm assuming my problem has something to do with this. All other gears have not really changed, even after drain/refill with Porsche fluid, and are fine. Do I just need to make an adjustment somewhere else? Seems like the adjustment was bottomed out.
