Default Saito FA 82b throttle linkage problem

Hello,

I have a problem connecting my throttle servo to the throttle arm of my Saito 82. I had to reverse the carburator so that now the throttle arm is in the center of the engine.
The distance sideways from the throttle arm to my selfmade plywood arm mounted on the motormount is about 1 inch. I tried to connect the mount arm with the throttle arm with a pushrod bended in a big Z to overcome the distance sideways. However when everything is mounted and i move the throttle servo the throttle arm moves also sideways from idle to WOT.(which is normal) which causes binding in my linkage.

Any ideas how to overcome this in my situation?. Attached is a photo of the setup but without the final linkage between mount arm and throttle arm. I'm desperate because i already spent several hours to figure this out
