Every little bit of strength would help but it would appear there is not much room to extend the sleeve and that is assuming the switches are consistent.
In this photo the flat part of the bezel opening against the ign switch pins keeps bezel from moving in farther. Trying to insert a 1/16 drill bit in the remaining gap just barely wants to move the bezel outward. I would think 3/64 would be about the limit you could lengthen it and again that is presuming there is not much variation in switches.
