Default Loose Shift Lever - 96 FXDL

My shift lever is loose on the transmission spline and for the life of me I can't figure out how to tighten it. I've seen them before with either an allen key or hex bolt to tighten the lever onto the spline but it doesn't look like this lever has anything? Does anyone know how to tighten these on a 96 Lowrider? There has to be an easier way than pulling the whole primary off.

Below is looking down the shift lever from the right and left sides.




Thanks.
