I am a tuning fanatic for the exact reason you listed. Perfect flight gives maximum penetration.
There are lots of tricks for building up the shelf or building out the side plate.
I like to use wooden or cardboard matchsticks, carved tongue depressors, strip of leather. Minimizes arrow contact. Cover with tape then velcro or thin leather. That way I can also leave a gap for the inside fletch to have more clearance.
