Hi,
I'm new to home ownership and I'm hitting my first speed bump! I'm replacing an old Moen shower trim and want to put a nice bronze shower trim in. I've done about 5 hours of research and I know I'm making this much harder than it should be and thought maybe someone here can give me some guidance. I purchased this Moen trim and I'm having issues with the cartridge not being long enough to connect to the handle. Also, the screws are aligning when I try to screw the face plate to the valve.

I'm thinking that I might need to buy the Moen conversion piece that allows me to use the Moentrol trim. I've attached some pictures of the valve that is installed currently, maybe someone can help me identify what kind of valve it is and if there is anyway I can use this with the trim I purchased (above). I've read that the Posi-Temp labelled trims won't work with what I have.
Any suggestions? Can I buy a different cartridge to make this compatible?
I've attached 3 different photos of the valve that's installed.
Any suggestions are appreciated!
