PLEASE HELP! Shift Lock Problem detailed pics of problem

[digitalh3lix]

My corolla is acting up lately. Keep in mind, it is an AUTO. the problem is that when it engauges into park, it doesnt always fully lock in. Therefore i cannot start the car if it is not fully in park position. I took the whole entire center console apart to look at it. It seems like the shift lock system where it pops up a piece of plastic mechanically. Does anyone know how to adjust this so it sits in all the way? or to a point where it wont give me any problems, my dad was driving the corolla and he got stuck at work because of this problem. I need this fixed as soon as possible.


Circled part is what im talking about, i have adjusted the rectangular part but that might only be a temp. fix

More detailed look. ( this is in park position)

Gear Shift Button partially engauged down.
