Instrument Cluster Bezel Removal for a 97

My truck did not come with a tach, so i bought a stock instrument cluster with a tach on ebay that will fit. However, I cannot figure out how to remove the instrument cluster bezel. I have removed the two screws and popped out all the clips, but it keeps hitting the shifter. I have tryed putting the shifter all the way down in 1st gear, but it still not low enough. I have a 97 s10 pickup with a 4.3L and automatic on the column. I do not have tilt steering.

If anyone has any suggestions, I would very much appreciate it.
