Z bar alignment

Took car out of shop today. Stepped on clutch, BANG and it went to floor and stayed. Retainer seems to have been forced off, dropping linkage off of z bar connection .Outer end of bar is too far forward. Looks like stud is canted toward front. Thinking of using a tapered shim on each side to bring it into line. Are there better suggestions from FABO members ??? Sorry about picture , difficult to get in there.
