Here are a couple of observations and photos of mine when I ran into the same problem.
The first photo is the aftermarket fork with an aftermarket bearing in the bellhousing. You can see that the centerline of the bearing is off from the center of the transmission hole.
The second photo is the same bellhousing installed.
The third photo is the end conditions of both a stock fork and an aftermarket fork. The stock one, with the square end forms a solid pocket for the clip to bite into. The aftermarket one is sloped, and the TO bearing clips wouldn't hold unless you shove the bearing too far down the fork, causing the alignment issue shown in photo #1 & #2. You can see the marks where the clips would slide out as you stabbed the transmission in. Once the bottom of the retaining clips come off of the fork, the entire bearing can rotate freely around the transmission shaft, rather than the shaft spinning the bearing only while its mounting plate stays still.
I notice that Jim's TO bearing appears to be a different style than the one I used. My bearing has a square plate, Jims is square on one end and round on the other, PLUS- it appears that the one Jim is using has its spring clips moved slightly more to the center of the bearing "hole", which would allow the clips more bite onto the fork, while the bearing stays centered in the hole.
I don't think that moving the pivot point is possible. The tab on the bellhousing is supposed to sit in the indented portion of the fork as the fulcrum point. I suppose that you could drill the bellhousing and move the tab, but that seems like a lot of work to do while underneath your Bronco.
What I think we have is just a bad combo of aftermarket parts. Mine worked with my TO bearing and an original fork. Looks like Jims works with aftermarket fork and his style of TO bearing, and his TO bearing looks like it probably would work with a stock fork also (it would just shove farther down the fork.)
Hope this helps.
