Just buy a set of the Tekno Diff shims. They are an exact fit.

I also use these Mugen Seiki Satellite/ Sun gear shims. Much harder and stronger Spring Steel. Your diffs will thank you. The stocker ones are junk. Makes your Diffs more bullet proof by running them only. Toss the stocker ones. I do this out the box with brand new Diffs, right out the gate. Trust me on this one.

I only use these Mugen and Tekno shims exclusively with all my 6s RTR Open diffs. Religiously.
One or 2 Tekno shims at the front and rear Main gears usually works. The center diff could sometimes use just One shim if at all. Be carefull if too tight at the center. Then use no shim there at all.
Use any automotive NLGI rated Grease on the Main/Input gears before closing up the bulkhead. don't need much. Just enough to completely cover the Main gears' teeth. Any excess grease just gets flung off anyway. And will just be more of a mess when its time to rebuild that diff.
Good luck.
