Garage Door Header to Jackstud Shim for Hurricane Strap Needed?

[msage002]

I have 2x6 framing on my garage door wall my garage door header is a triple lvl.

2x6 = 5.5"
triple lvl @ 1.75" = 5.25"

I have a requirement to for a header to jack stud strap like simpson MSTC28 so the surfaces must be flush.

Can I use a wood shim to flush them up?

Thanks,
Mike

At the day job we use a plywood filler for situations like that.

Attached picture is 3-ply 2x12 portal frame in a 2x6 wall with windows but same concept.
