You do have to tilt the bike just a smidge to get them under. But it's no more precarious than trying to lift any other bike onto a center stand. Once you get a feel for it you'll be fine.
I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. I can get part of the jack under the swing arm on the right but then the bottom part of the wood hits the tire. I can't get it in far enough to get the cutout to "grab" the swing arm. The top of the wood is only about halfway across the swing arm when the bottom if hits the tire.

If I tilt the bike to the right (of the stand) the jack won't go under the swing arm. Guess I could shorten the jack but then I don't know if I"d have enough clearance to spin the wheel.
