OK, I am trying to do a cake for a friend, so am just doing it at home instead of at my commercial kitchen so don't have all my normal stuff on hand, and the grocery is closed.
I want to do a chocolate ganache for the filling only, not the outside. Would it be OK to use 2% milk instead of heavy whipping cream?
If so, then should I reduce the ratio of milk to chips.
Any one up to give suggestions?

NO!
You need to use heavy cream. You need that fat content.

Then in that case it's not a real ganache.
