Default Kick stand on Heritage is a little out of reach

I'm 5'5" and find it a little difficult to reach my kick stand to lift it up. Thought my leg would be long enough but I need to find the groove in my boot sole to manage it. I have no problem putting it down.
I know there are kick stand extensions but a guy in parts said it wouldn't help (?).
Anybody else have this problem and got a suggestion as to how to solve it. If you bought a HD product what's the part # and any pics for me?

There is an alternate kick stand that bolts on in those two screw holes right under the swing arm pivot area on the frame. A few guys here have them. Dont know how they are to use or if it would help for sure.

This is one example:

This one goes up front in the stock position but is shorter:
