For the wobble, the shifter bushings are bad. Replace them.

As for smashing your knuckles on the center console, either the car has a VERY low-profile shifter, or your hands are too big... one can be resolved, the other cannot.

Good catch. I've never heard of anybody having that piece installed improperly.
