GH1 and rail system

I picked up the rail system from India/Proaim, mounted my GH1 to it with all the shims in it and it still won't reach my mattebox! (Mattebox is an indisystem mattebox). I guess I should have gotten the one made specifically for DSLRs but I figured this one would be okay.

So now what? Is there a riser I need to buy? An extra sack of shims and longer screws? Or is there some trick I'm not realizing?
 
It's possible that the rail block for the camera is not standard spec for hdslrs.. The mattebox shouldn't be the problem. You can pick up a Jag35 rail block or another indie brand and try that. HDSLRs have a different rail to lens height than normal video cameras. But that should put the camera at the right height for the mattbox.
