how to modify specific dimensions in a solid body
The distance between the two large holes on each end was not 11.0 mm, it was 10.9 mm. Your model is attached with a distance of 7.5 mm between these holes, all other dimension are the same.

The process I used is outlined in the video. Please used the attached model as I changed my mind as to the location of the two cutting planes. The original ones did not allow for the scaling of the curved edge exactly.

In the model you are having issues, it is because the Body is made up of Surfaces, it is not solid. The reason is that the conversion of the Mesh was incomplete in one area, at least at this point it all I can see, so it created a surface body. You will not be able to use the process I outlined unless it is a solid body.
Also, you failed to say which way you wanted the model lengthen or shortened.

Your model is attached. Your description of what you wanted does not take into account what you want to consider about the details on the back side of the body. I did as you asked but I had to make a decision on what to preserve and what to eliminate. I chose to keep the complex feature and remove the easily recreated ones. Compare screen captures below and you will see where you failed to describe what you really wanted.
The process I used is very close to the same that I used in the other models. Step the timeline back and you will see what I did.

There is noting I did differently than you on the Converting an STL to Solid Body, I just got lucky. The ability to convert an STL is all in wrapped up in the "quality" of the STL. By the way, there is not Conversion Switch to get a Solid or Surface, it depends on the STL. If there is any break in the STL surface, you will get a Surface otherwise you will get a solid body.
As I mentioned in the video, you need to learn how to step along the model timeline and tell how someone executed your model. This was such a simple process so no further explanation is needed.
Please remember to select the "Accept Solution" for my conversion of this one as well.
