Default Shifter position moved

I hit a big crown in the road doing about 60 and still accelerating, got some good air, but when I came down I musty have mashed the shifter, the toe shifter is now too low to get my toe under, the next day the hiem joint broke, so I relaced the linkage with the stock one, toe shifter is still low. Did I screw something up internally, or just need to readjust the shift lever?

the lever probably just slipped a tooth..take it off and move it up a tooth and tighten it up...

If it slipped a tooth as you say which is probably the case, the splines on the shifter arm are probably toast because that metal is softer than the hardened splined shaft, and you should replace the arm when you get a chance or it will continually be slipping out of adjustment. The stock heim joints are garbage, theyre plastic, consider getting aftermarket ones.
