Oh yeah, I forgot that mage hand can’t shove in table top.
I did one time convince my DM to let my invisible trickster mage hand pick and and drop a dagger directly over an NPC I was trying to surreptitiously assassinate. He only had 1 HP, so it worked splendidly. Good times.
There's a feat in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything that allows one to shove with Mage Hand, with a bonus action no less. Of course, the shove in only the standard 5ft. I believe it''s called Telekinetic.
