Pinion gear shimming help

I have a 2017 50 HP E-Tec outboard. E50dslagd. I am on the tail end of a lower unit rebuild (I'm not a professional boat mechanic however this is not my first time rebuilding a lower unit) I'm at the point where I need to shim for the pinion gear depth. I have the service manual and have combed over many different online resources and despite that I cannot find the proper shim gauge bar part number for my model. There are two potential matches (based on compared length) from Evinrude but I have no way to confirm which one is correct.
Does anyone know a better resource to get this information?
Here's an example of one that may match but I have no way to confirm.
Part number 0328364 length 7.553 in
When I have the drive shaft mocked up and under tension it measures a little over 7.5 inches. But there is at least one other Evinrude shim gauge bar that has an extremely close size.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
