Default Neck block and OM size

I purchased a neck block from stewmac to go with a MS000 OM style guitar I'm making.
The instrument is a 14 fret instrument, so I bought the 14 fret block.
The issue is that the block is a good bit longer than the top of the guitar is at the top.
See photo
So, does this OM build warrant a specific block? Can I simply cut this one down, even though the 14 fret neck bolts would then be pretty close to the back?
Thoughts?
Thank you

This is the width at the block @ 3" 1/4



Here is the block I have
3" 13/16


Here it is if mounted flush at the top. This is how much the back sticks out.



With the sides separated you can see there isn't a lot of room before you get into the channel



Here's a picture for orientation if the others seem confusing



So what do you think I should do? Perhaps lmii has the appropriate block?
As a builder I'm not quite up to creating my own yet :/
