Rear wheel clearance on centre stand

Hello, got my Girly out of storage today and gave the chain a clean and lube. But ever since I've owned it the rear wheel clearance has been next to nothing, making chain adjustment and lube a choir if on your own.
Are there any common centre stand issues or could the bike have been altered in height that changes the clearance?

Its definitely on here somewhere (you might try searching for centre stand) but when I had the problem I just replaced the stop bolt with a larger one M10 and this sorted it out for me, others have replaced the pivot bolts as well.

Managed to find this thread that talks about changing the bolt to a bigger head to move the stop position to more of a central location.
Will take a look at this and change it over as a first step.

Could it be that the stand has been altered for a shorter rider?.............no wait, that sounds stupid, the side stand maybe ...... :augie, don't mind me  :icon_redface: :icon_lol:
