Default forward controls trouble

Hi looking for some suggestions?My problem is my brake pedal on forward control seems to far back and when i put the brake on i have to reach with my foot and doesnt feel comfortable.The shifting pedal is fine.Brake pedal has a threaded stud on the end and is bolted to the arm.I am looking for a pedal that is alot wider so i wont have to reach as far to hit the brakes.I attached a pic of the controls.Hoping someone has an idea?Thx

I can't tell on those, but on mine there's an adjustment on the piston going into the master cylinder.

Yes i havew it adjusted as much as it can be when i release the brake it hits the footpeg mount already.I think the only way is find a larger brake peg something alot wider instead of a round peg,but the only thing i can see is a shifter peg something like this but dont know if it will work

or maybe a highway peg or p-peg? I just went through the nut roll of adjusting my fwd controls and adding the cruise mounts
