exactly how mine was, and a few of my mates were, just needs the spacer between the gear box mount making smaller, we used a washer of some sort in the end. gears go in so smooth

useful link that i really hope i don't have to re do the spacer bit and that its a linkage issue caused by it originally being set whilst the box was in reverse

Although it sounds like you just need to carefully centralise the gear linkage... Took me a few goes to get right then I was away

It shouldn't be, it should just centralise in the exact same way as you would centralise a stock shifter... You using drill bits on the gear stick and gearbox to lock them in position? I found that on my first attempts the drill bits I was using were too small and the linkage was sitting slightly out making it not work
