Default Difficulties putting van in park

I have a 3.3l 09 GC, 4SP transmission, when warm it becomes difficult to put in park. I am usually able to get it in park by giving the shifter a small bump, pushing the cable under the hood slightly or if the van is parked on a hill if it rolls slightly it will go in. When this happens the box that highlights the gear disappears, I am unable to change gears to reverse, etc and cannot remove the key. From what I can tell it does appear that that the transmission is in park. The issue appeared after a recall was done on the WIN module, the dealer did replace it again and I replaced the shift mechanism, however the issue is still present. Anyone come across this? I am thinking it may be the cable but am not sure.

The cable worked, however, there was a zip tie with the cable, anyone know what that would be for? My old cable is slightly different then this one
