Question Copper shims for clearance

Are there any problems doing this?

I have an Asrock P45TurboTwins2000 motherboard and had to shim Orochi to CPU with 0.025" copper shim (lapped with 1000 grit emory cloth on precision granite table also added 4 shims to board mounting hardware) to prevent mounting hardware from resting on some capacitors on motherboard.

Oops! Use Scythe thermal compound on copper shim at cpu both sides.
