Anyone have to shim starter for Circle D flexplate?

Had this issue since the moment I got the truck running with the 80e. I need two washers between the starter and the block otherwise there is an audible whirring during cranking and with engine running where the flexplate rubs on the starter snout (at least I think that's where it's rubbing) I've tried 3 different starters, same result with each. Once I shim the starter down, the noise goes away.

I have close to the same setup with the same tq converter.
I differ in that I have a TCI flexplate and have not needed shims.
Not an answer but a data point. I wish I knew more to help.
