They have some cheap plastic toilet shims that would probably crack on me or wood at home depot. I will check on these other places

Most glass companies should stock plastic/vinyl shims in an assortment of shapes and sizes for dirt cheap or possibly free.

To shim my 400 I used a variety of strange things including metal washers, miscellaneous brackets and even some ikea flat door handles. Go metal and use anything you can find that's flat.
