Righty tighty, lefty loosey. I haven’t used a wrench to tighten. Back off the shift knob about 1/8 to 1/4 turn, then tighten the collar by hand. Hold the collar in place and tighten the knob into the desired alignment which jams the two together. A touch of blue locktite on the threads is recommended.

For anyone with the same issue, the tool doesn't work for this. It's adjustable but only locks in place at the widest setting, and it only has one pin rather than two so it can't turn it. I'm wondering if the collar is worn down because it's loose unless screwed all the way down, which leaves the knob facing the wrong direction. Currently I'm going collar-less, but I'm not happy about it.

Thanks again guys.
