I pulled the front cover off of the pump and slid three shims, equally spaced between the drive gear and rotor. I believe I used .003 material but can’t remember for sure.

For what it’s worth, IMHO, the plastic bolt sleeves do a good job of aligning the pump. The alignment tool that is referenced in the shop manual sets the pump in the Y direction. What about the X? Isn’t the pump as just as likely to be misaligned side to side? I don’t think gravity is much of a factor.
