I thought those brackets were supposed to be "bolt on" and go. But, as with all aftermarket products, when you mismatch brands, they don't always play well together. I too have shims using the stock disc brackets, but I did the bracket flip too. As long as the axles seat correctly with the clips and pins, I would shim it and not worry about it.
Now, I did have to file the ends of my axles to have enough room to slide my pin in. Some aftermarket axles have more meat on the "buttons" of the axle end (that's a Joe term).

my moser 31 splines work fine with the drums, so they should be the right length.
the nrc shimming thing, as mentioned, is common. they probably patterned the thing on a flipped stock sn setup. looks like it only needs 1 hardened or maybe 2 normal washers though if that (dont know the size/pitch of those bolts, but looks like 1.5-2 threads?). make sure those are grade 8 or better (rarely see a bright finished grade 8, and the o.e. stuff is stronger and silver zinc'ed instead of the normal grade 8 yellow zinc)
