Weird AFD height issue with K2 Mindbender/Marker ID combo

I'm in the process of adjusting my Marker Baron 13 EPF bindings to my K2 Mindbender boots, and I'm experiencing a weird issue with what height to set the AFD at.



In the above image, the AFD on the binding is adjusted to the correct gap with the plastic piece on the GripWalk soles. However, the rubber lug on the far right of the AFD in the image is compressing the AFD, and does not have a "business card gap".



The above image shows my AFD lowered so there is the correct gap between the rubber lug and the AFD. However, there is a now a substantial gap between the plastic part of the GripWalk sole, now that the AFD has been lowered.

Which position would be the most correct? If neither, does anyone have insight on the best way to setup this boot binding combo?

Another trick is to fold receipt paper in half, then try and pull it out. Correct width is 0.5mm. Also, I would always tug up on my toe of my boot when clicked in, because sometimes there’s noticeable wiggle room. Ex., you could push toe down and create a “false” reading that there is no gap between AFD and sole.
