Yep that's a good point, a bloody good one at the that.
Time for a bit more thinking...

2022 Side-stand part number 1025611-458 is a straight 10 minute swap out. As the powder-coating on my old stand was shot and flaking on the new one I made a punched out round rubber stop from a car exhaust strap to appease my OCD and prevent damage to the stand whilst in use. Naturally it leans considerably more but no more than my other much heavier bike. With all the regular bike meets I go to which are quite crowded I was constantly worried someone would brush past the bike and accidentally knock it over which wouldn't have taken much at all, worry now totally gone! For an older knacker like me with dodgy knees it is a damn sight easier getting on and off too.
A point to note here perhaps, it is only the heel of the stand that appears to make contact with the ground?

No worries Charlie, Did pop it off the paddock stand to see the angle but it started raining. Am happy with the angle but as stated glued a rubber stop on the bottom which is now drying, the bike is currently back on the paddock stand in the garage and it's raining cats and dogs. Will try to get some pictures tomorrow with the bike in exactly the same spot. Took some 'before' pictures to compare with 'after' photos prior to it raining though.

LIES! Lol and this is why I get a service manual and do work myself. Then there’s only me to blame and get mad at if something goes wrong.
I just installed the shorter side stand. But there is another difference between the longer and the shorter side stand: The longer
one has some sort of a fitting the holds the unfolded stand in the correct position; the shorter one doesn't have that and it moves way to much forward.
Anyone else noticed that?

Not at all! Your mechanic/tech was wrong in his assumptions that the stop is different and it wouldn't fit, also I suspect you have a defect in your stand or wrong stand completely? It was only a few days ago you were talking about taking an inch out of your 2019 stand? I waited four months for this stand to arrive from ordering as they were on back-order.
Maybe I should send my resume to Mythbusters?
The position is exactly the same and for clarity I went out and took a couple of photos.
Below is a picture of my 2022 stand fitted to my 2019 FTR. The stand is positioned at 'half travel.'
The red arrow depicts the fixed stop onto which the stand butts to at full extension.
The yellow arrow depicts the travelling stand edge that butts up against the stop at full extension. NOTE: At full extension the 2022 side stand is in exactly the same position and angle the 2019 stand was at. The micro-switch works perfectly as well.
Full extension.
Top tip. If swapping out the stand do not try to unhook the retention spring as a first step. Simply remove the bolt first, when fitting hook the spring up first then fit the bolt. The task is much easier and safer using this method.

To put this to bed once and for all, took the bike out between rain showers and took the photos.

Ditched the rubber protector as the bu993r wouldn't stay on.
