A whole mm is too much for the pop can shim, usually.
They make dedicated ones but you can go to the "real" hardware store or hobby shop and get some brass or SS sheet in that thickness.
It needs to be only one piece for no slip, clean all parts with acetone, alcohol or brake clean, any residue can undo the process.
