Looks to me like the only fix would be, either cut the hole bigger, or move the engine/trans forward (custom motor mounts)

Its well documented that the T56 shifter sits about an 1-2" back than the t5 shifter.

If you use the T56 lower boot, then you'll be fine.
Another trick is to place a piece of metal across the front, and then use that to mount the boot with some self tapping screws.
Don't worry, the shifter will still be placed right in the middle of the console, and no one will ever know
