Sensenich prop bolt washers?

I had an A&P stop by my hangar a few weeks back and he noticed that the washers on my prop bolts were not sitting perfectly flat because of a 1/16" interference with the front spinner mount plate. Is this an issue? Should I use smaller diameter washers or grind the edge of the ones I have now?
 
Use smaller ones...the ones that Van's provides are too large diameter. The ones that came with the bolts are perfect...
 
Prop bolt washers

Had the same issue with my 7a 0-360 fixed pitch. Vans told me to use the larger washers and grind a little off the edge so they sit flat.
