Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.
It's hard for me to tell what is happening in the picture. However, have you tried an additional shim? Also, are you aware there are two different types of starters used on this vehicle. One was a Delco Remy and the other was manufactured by Mitsubishi.
I attached two pictures. First is a side view of the Delco. The second shows a portion of the Mitsubishi. I added the picture because it shows how the travel limit of the Bendix is regulated. If you replaced the starter, make sure you got the correct one to replace it.
Let me know if this helps.
Joe
