Has anyone had issues with a hitch for a bike rack?

Some background: I used to have a crosstrek with a hitch for this swagman bike rack, and it fit perfectly with limited motion.

I just got a forester and had a hitch installed for the same bike rack and the bike rack does not sit well, it seems to jut out farther behind my car, has more mobility when I’m driving, and the hitch pin is now hard to fit under my bumper.

My short hitch pin is of course too short.

Any advice is helpful and appreciated!
