Why do my screws not reach and yours do?

As Walt suggested, remove the support bracket and remove the broken screw thread. Inspect the threads, then reinstall.
When properly installed, the shift tube support bracket sits on top of the tunnel, sandwiched between it and the shift housing assy. It sounds like you're trying to install the entire bracket below the tunnel. This might be the reason you feel the existing M6 screws aren't long enough.
Hope this helps,
