I believe I re-drilled one of the shifter mount holes on my bracket as suggested to get a little better alignment on my ERA but sounds like you would need to rotate it quite a bit. Have you trial fit your tunnel to see where the shifter falls? Maybe you can re-drill the mount plate and shift the entire shifter body a little higher and leave the transmission where it is. Mine really sits a little too low since they build the transmission tunnels a little taller now on many cars to adapt all of the 5 and 6 speed transmission options with internal, top sitting shifters.

If that isn't feasible then re-drilling the shifter reverse lever may be your best option since a little additional effort and throw in going into reverse would probably not be a big issue. One thing that may be a problem though is the longer throw of the shift arm to engage reverse. Since it's on the outside of the pattern you may run into interference with the trim ring.
