Reverse gear angle/shifter adjustment

A question regarding the angle/shifter adjustment for reverse (and protection for going direct from first to reverse).
I reviewed the available threads, the manual, and had an assistant manipulate while I observe from below. My top circlip was broken, so that was replaced. I have all the parts in place, but can still go directly to reverse.
The question:
- Looking at the operation, adjustment of the shifter lever vertical height should be such that in first, the pin on the shifter operates longitudinally within the cut-out slot, but above the angle. When pushed down into reverse, should the pin go down in the same longitudinal plane but slide just below the angle?
From second onwards it functions outside the influence of the angle.
If anybody has the time, would it be possible to post photos from below in the following positions:
first, neutral, neutral with leverpush down, reverse.
Thanks
