Doesn't look that far out, what happens when you tighten the bolt holding the strut brace?
Where did you get the block from? Pictures show yours vs the UK version made for MJ. To my eye yours looks a bit thicker.
(I'm comparing the width of the top of the strut brace to the distance to the "point", though the geometry of yours is slightly different.)
