they shimmed core supports all over.....sides and bottom. Best thing to do is photo the shims....as they are being removed, put them in a zip loc bag and mark location and orientation....they only make those guys (shims) in about 6 thicknesses, could be all sorts of combinations....
I am in the same kind of situation...needing to shim....only problem, I didn't take it apart.
