They way I did it was to start with no shims but with the 2 standard washers and the gasket in place between inner primary and the crankcase, did the 3 mounting bolts up tight and then used feeler gauges to check the gap between inner primary and the centre stud. I then put shims in to match the feeler gauge but only did the 3 bolts up finger tight, pushing hard on the inner primary by the 3 bolts I used my second hand to see if I could get the inner primary to rock in 2 planes (front to back and top to bottom) and adjusted the shims until the inner primary was just rock free in both planes.
