Spacing out a front derailleur

(1/1)

Daviddavieboy:
 I have built a Spcycle G056 gravel frame and it went together with very few issues. I chose SRAM AXS with a 'wide' crank which uses a 30/43 rings and the 'wide' front derailleur.

 My problem is that the installed front derailleur does not sit low enough on the hangar as it hits part of the frame of the bike. Is it OK to put a spacer between the frame and the derailleur hangar to move it 3-4 mm away from the frame ? The hangar is a simple 2 bolt one that fits into a recessed part of the molded carbon frame.
