Is there anyway to change the plaze of the black thing for my shifter?
I want to fit 28's instead of my 25 tires.

You could try swapping out the FD clamp (the black thing) for one from a different vendor, like the Shimano SM-AD31, which has the clamp screw sitting on the side instead of facing backwards like your current clamp.
But if your picture is showing the bike with 25 mm tires, then I doubt that 28 mm would fit regardless. The tire would probably rub on the BB area (or at least run pretty close to it) and on the FD shifter cable.
I had this issue. I swapped to a Shimano clamp and then just filed it down. Still totally structurally sound, I put some clear nail polish on it to stop corrosion and it’s done 10,000k absolutely fine 🙂
