Is the goose neck long enough to position it in the correct place but the support pole is simply too short to allow that? If that’s the case, you could try sitting the lamp base up on a box, stack of books or similar to make it tall enough. If the whole thing is too short, there’s probably not much else that can be done with your current one. It just isn’t quite compatible with your setup, other than to continue to use it in table mode and sit on it to keep it in place. I haven’t used a magnifier lamp myself, I don’t need one (yet…) and favour a neck lamp for the extra light. This one on Amazon seems to have a similar magnification level to your current, has good reviews and also appears to come from an actual brand with their own website rather than one of those random letter salad “brands” that are all over Amazon.
