Ok, item 22 has 3 versions. So most certainly this is what needs to be changed. And one wonders why if the lengths are not specified, why aren't they packaged together?...
The FSM (Chapter 3, Engine; Clutch inspection section) states that the three different rods have lengths of 1.75", 1.79", and 1.83".

So I would shoot for the bottom quarter mark as being optimum. But that's being anal to a BMW level. Get the b'tard between the marks and ride
Unless I see anything different, I'm going to assume this is how you use these index marks:
With the clutch cable disconnected from the clutch release arm, observe the position of the inboard end of the clutch release arm with respect to the index marks on the starboard crankcase.
If the extension of the longitudinal centerline of the clutch release arm falls within the index marks, you're good to go. If not, you need to swap the clutch pushrod for one with a different length.
Missiles?
