VerifiedHi! My name is ***** ***** I can assist you with this. I may need some additional information from you first in order to give a complete answer.
Can you attach a photo of your leg assy to your post? And what is "too short" here? Not sure I understand that part. The shaft should be the same on all versions.
Do you have room to add a bracket? That may be a solution here as well.
