You will end up with only part of the pad touching the braking surface.

hmm, how about if i take a couple of washers out?

You've told us nothing of the mounts.

By removing washers I think you have a IS brake caliper mount.

If you have a PM fork it won't work as the brackets setup the angle.

You need a new mounting bracket.

yea i got IS mount. and using POST to IS bracket currently

if your fork is post mount this:

if your form is IS then this:

the only option that worked for me, tried filing and more and could not get the pad to align with the disk, ever though the pad was over the disk, except for magura mount
