Adjusting Hood release Handle

[TomoHawk]

On a 280Z, Is there a way to adjust the amount the hood release handle sticks out? I want to put the lower left dash cover on and I can't get it behind the hood release handle. The vent knob sticks out far enough.

If you have to, you can take the bracket loose under the dash, it's like two or three screws.

Basically the metal bracket is clamped tightly and keyed around the cable, so I don't see how it can be adjusted.
