Default Shifter issue

I recently removed my steering column several times to do a dash upgrade, (4th gen) this last time I installed my steering column when I turn the key to shut off the truck I have to pull back on the column shifter just a little so the key will turn back that last little bit and be able to remove it. Did I mess up an adjustment somewhere?

Check the adjuster for the shifter linkage near the frame of the truck on the driver's side. Might have to lengthen or shorten the linkage rod since the steering column was disturbed.

I was able to find the adjustment and got it back to where in needs to be. Shifts fine and I can pull the key out easily now. Thanks
