Column mounted Ignition switch engagement

I'm having an issue with the new 157 SA ignition switch engaging the blade in the ignition housing. Lining up the bump in the switch casting with the slot in the column casting does not provide enough engagement to allow the switch to actuate properly. It works fine when I turn it with a screwdriver blade.. Am I missing a small part which may go between the switch and the blade?

Whoever broke the drive peg must have been very heavy handed. Here is the clearest picture I have of the part with the drive peg feature on the end:
Only problem is to replace that part requires dis-assembling the whole steering lock assembly, which requires removing the anti-tamper screws - quite a job!!
"I'll just fabricate a new nub to fit over the blade and fit into the switch using an old bobbin or a chunk of plastic."
I hope you can do that; otherwise I have replacement steering locks.
