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 normal. Most brakes have an adjuster screw inside the brake handle that you can adjust the distance the lever travels.

Personally I’d change those grip shifters though. They’re prone to breaking.
