The way I created my shim was to cut pieces off a plastic card (e.g., a credit card offer in the mail) that I no longer needed. Search the forums here for more info, but that's the basic idea.
So it is a design flaw and not a one-off defect.

If the shim isn't wide enough, it will turn off as you say; ~1mm thickness works here with a very tight fit.
