Did you remember to install that triangle metal piece that holds down the shifter?
That piece is what has the physical hard stop on it.
Remove the center console again and see how the tab on the shifter looks next to the hard stop (or take a pic so we can see it).

I never installed one before, but I just saw a pic of it installed.

EDIT: Looks like that triangle piece is still there.
It looks like a small arch on the right side of the shifter.
