Need help with intake and TB swap

hey guys I just swapped to a BBK ssi and a new throttle body. Had to use a 4 bolt to 3 bolt adapter with the new TB. Got everything hooked up with all new sensors but it seems my cruise cable is now too short causing my TB not to fully close. Car is over a grand at idle unless I disconnect the cruise cable. Should I get an aftermarket bracket or can I just slot the holes on the old bracket to move it forward an 1/8th?

I think the TB spacer is what is trowing your cable off. Using the stock TB or an 3 bolt TB would solve the issue.

I’m seeing that the TB being located forward due to the adapter is not allowing enough slack in the cruise control line. What I’m wondering is should I slot the holes to bring the bracket forward an 1/8th or if I just need to buy an aftermarket bracket. I don’t know if it will cause slack in the throttle cable if I relocate the bracket
