Gamma 5800 ELS with racquetball racquets?

Hey everyone -
So I searched a few random threads around here, and think I've seen the answer that is likely here, but I just want to run this by ya'll and see what you recommend. I have a Gamma 5800 ELS and just had a customer drop off two racquetball racquets. I've strung them before, but not with this machine. I just realized that this machine didn't come with the extension pieces or adaptors (or whatever they're called) needed to string racquetball racquets on this machine. You can see the problem I've run into.

What are maybe some DIY "adaptor" options out there to fill this gap between the throat and the post? Any ideas? It's approx 2" of area I need to fill here....

Based on your photo it looks like the two mounting stands are not positioned as far apart as they should be. The max distance between the frame support pads (that contact the inside of the racquet at 12:00 and 6:00) is 17 3/8” or 440mm

You don't even wanna know the level of idiocy I feel right now. Seriously, I can't even quantify it. I was stringing on an old Babs Star 3 for such a long time I was so used to using those "support adaptors" that click on to the throat/head posts I didn't even think about re-situating my entire frame supports. Seriously, didn't even cross my mind. Thanks so much!!
