Ok will do. So there is no way to salvage these?

Hi every body. So a few years back I started building a storm trooper I did not get very far. I have decided I don't want clean armor. So I'm going TD instead. I've been very slowly plugging away at it. And I have all my armor parts roughly cut. Now is the time to start messruing and assembling. I have come across my first major question. My thigh armor is a little small. I was wondering if there is a maximum that the shim in the back can be? Also can it be in the shape of the gap shown?
