Congrats on the setup! I do agree the setup takes time, I tried not to rush mine but it was slow and frustrating. I was swapping bumpers on mine as well but in some ways that helped as I had easier access. Still slow process, I understand better why shops charge what they charge now.
As for shifting, the problem you finding seems pretty common on the 2018 and newer JL's. I'd read several take it to the dealer and were told it's normal.
We have a four bike carrier that we used when the kids were growing up and pre-Jeep, to use it now I'd have to get a hitch extender. They do make some that will rotate out of the way so you have access to the back of the Jeep... it's just $$$.
I used the same video's found them very detailed and help.
I just got all the parts for my wiring in, and weather is warming up so probably will be my weekend task.
