The string tree does need lowering, that's the correct spacer for a G/D string one - the E/B one should be half that height. You know to check the screw length! If necessary and you can't find a screw with the right head to look correct, you could cut it down with a pair of wirecutters and re-shape the tip with a file or emery board. Yes, I am a geek and these things matter to me .

We of the Fretboard have come to appreciate and rely on your geekiness.
You didn't acquire nearly 20000 frets by being ignorant.
