Goodroc, I thought you meant a seperate sheet metal plate that should be put between starter and engine block. I was a little bit confused because if I would put another sheet as a spacer between starter and block the starter wouldn`t engage at all. The starters teeth are obviously not deep enough in the teeth of the flexplate. I`ll send a photo of the damaged teeth of the starter in a minute (kb-reduction). On the photo below you`ll see the plate and the damaged teeth of the flexplate.
