Default Dual Gate Shifter Bezel

Not sure this is the right spot to post this but ..
So I have a friend who works in a machine shop and had him cut me a new bezel for my Dual gate shifter.
The original is plastic and I actually cracked the small finger piece.
He machined up this new plate and made the finger just a hair shorter so I can hopefully miss it when sliding the shifter all the way to the right....
I’m gonna cover the inlay with the wood grain insert I currently have or I’ll have another one made up...
I have to still go get to see how it will fit but thought I’d post up a pic.

Getting back to this bezel I had a local place around here that my son knows make up new vinyl inserts for me
Here is a pic of the insert alone and the next is just laying ontop of the bezel.
I've painted the bezel today black and gonna have my sons friend install the insert .....he actually made me three inserts...so I've got spares
Pics are upside down can someone correct this for me.....thanks
