While I have not done the swap yet, I am a GM technician. I can say the “6L” range is PRNDM so the lever should not be any lower than an original lever goes. The 6L uses switches/buttons to select desired gear only when in M(manual).
I’m thinking with some ingenuity one can either rework original linkage to function properly or utilize a cable like 6L donor for clearance/routing options. Modification to stock 6L manual shift lever is probable to obtain proper engagement.
