Default Lowering a FXBB question

Hi all,

I was wondering what the options are for my new FXBB to get lowered,

I saw on the web some pictures from a smaller mounting block that replaces the stock mounting on the oem shock. But if I look at my shock the mounting point is not as long
that the websites who are selling the shorter ones are showing. It looks more like the shorter one allredy but the bike sits like stock. Is only 1 week old first owner so nothing is
changed so far on the shock.

What are my options here ? all advice or info is welcome.
