Default If you iron men's dress shirts - please answer me this ('cuzI'm confused)

I already have (and hate) a small-sized wall-attached ironing board:

It doesn't work well because the attached end is actually needed to
properly iron the front and especially the back of a men's cotton dress
shirt.

I bought (from Costco) a large-sized free-standing ironing board:

It doesn't work well because the end that is actually needed to properly
iron the front and especially the back of a men's cotton dress shirt is
ruined by the presence of a 'shelf' for the iron.

WHAT AM I MISSING?
If you iron, answer me this please ...

No....use the narrow end and just rotate the shirt. Collar first,
inside of cuffs, outside of cuffs, sleeves, yoke, back, front.
