Yeah, I have a second shim in at the top to close the gap a little. Without the second shim the main one bends slightly but the solenoid doesn't slide in any further
Take the locking tap off and make sure they both seat down all the way, minus the gap for the locking tab. Make sure the o rings aren't unseating when you push it in. They should seat cleanly hence the locking ring to stop them coming out.
If all the cutouts are in the same place I'm not sure why it isn't seating.
the O ring is 14x1.5 mm.. you can try other dimensions.. or I can send you some..
it would be good if you could compare the snapped part of the solenoid with the VII one you have..
I do not have access to the earlier pumps so can not comment.. but I did replace the E8 and E9 solenoids with ones from E 10... in which case the solenoid had to be turned 180 deg which made it impossible to mount the pump into carrier (due to sticking connector) without some cutting..
it is essential that you test the solenoid on the pump by opening it with pump under pressure... just so that you see it works before mounting it on the car..
Another box ticked for "project seven " :smthumbup
