Default HELP!!!!! 3GSK

doing my 3GSK did the first spring which stock is 2 parts spring seat and 3 springs. upon doing the other one i got 2 part spring seat and 3 springs and one very thin shim.i did this ever so slow with my pencil magnet. so question is did i lose the other shim in the pump? i would say yes but what to do now? or do those shims ever wear out or what?

one side was just a hair more that the other. not much. heck those stockers only read .030", i set the new at .050" i rolled the pump twice and double checked the oil bath with pencil magnet. nothing down below. those shims are so fricken thin!!! wonder what a shim in the pump would do?
