We got this bike for my nephew, but this piece of plastic between the shifter and the brake puts the brake so far away that even i as an adult can only reach it with one finger

The piece seems to be connected to the shifter.

      Looks like you may be able to pop the brake handle off with an Alan key and move it to be above the plastic thing? Not sure the plastic is too thick to operate the brake though if it were above it.

    You can bring the resting position of the brake lever closer to the handlebar by turning this screw clockwise. The brake lever looks a bit short for my taste, it’s probably not designed for use with that type of shifter. But with a bit of adjustment it should still be usable.
