Scoop out the bridge under the string line until the string just grazes the
top of the bridge whilst held tight and down onto the particular shim.  Done
at 3 locations on the bass bridge and about 9 or 10 on the treble bridge.
Then plane the bridge tops down to those markings.

What is your "as usual from there"?

 I just reach into the box and get the thickness I want, run the string
through the agraffe and  over the bridge, and lower it onto the top of the
shim.  Adjust bridge height as usual from there.
