Right way is to check engine mounts, and comparing linkages with known good ones for length.
Quick fix is to grind a little out of end of the slot (gate) in the shift guide plate up at the shifter.
If the linkage was apart, it could be a little play in the bolts holding the 3 parts of the tube together. Too short or too long will cause issues. Not properly aligned will cause issues. The four holes in the floor holding the shifter socket, or even the holes holding the shifter brackets on the floor by the driver can cause problems. Thin or warped floor can also cause issues.
