34 Ford Light Switch too High on Steering Wheel

[My3window]

I have a 34 Ford coupe with the light switch and horn button riding too high on the steering wheel. The gap between the edge of the switch and the top of the steering wheel is 1/4 inch. I have taken apart the lower unit at the bottom of the steering box and made sure the "C" clip is fastened with the spider and spring. The "C" clip is positioned at the very bottom of the horn rod. I'm wondering if I was able to attach the "C" clip higher up on the rod it may allow the upper switch to slide further down on the steering column and reduce the gap. All the lights and horn are working correctly.
Thanks for any help offered.
