Absolutely right. I forgot, since I've only been living in the SRAM world since 2017

The thing with the jockey wheels is a great idea
You have to shim on the right side to go further to the left..?
How many spacers do you use and by how many millimeters do you move them?
You probably also used a longer bolt screw. How long is it?
Actually you only need to shim the upper jockey wheel. Did you shim the lower one too?

Do you have any photos?

Here's a picture, you can just see the silver washers on the right hand side of the jockey wheels

Bike set up is good. The first thing I do because I need a more upright position (C4/C5 fusion 10 yrs ago). It has a lot to do with age, and me. LOL I find that nirvana floaty yet grounded susp setting every so often, but it changes every time I ride.
Have you ridden the new 38 X2?

I'm trying to put off a c5/c6 fusion. 215 lbs. +1 on the I9 40mm stem and 35 rise OneUp bars. I'm running a Lyrik at 160. I've also got a Zeb on a Madonna at 170. EXe gets ridden locally as well as taken on trips to properly gnarly and steep terrain. Had the EXe/Lyrik a little over two years and have had one CSU warranty. I would not trade the Lyrik for a 38 or Zeb.

Not necessarily responsive to your question, but my advice is to back out of thinking about bolting on a stock fork and go down the tuning rabbit hole. On my EXe, Lyrik has been burnished and I'm running an MRP lift damper (blue rebound stack and getting ready to experiment with green compression stack). On the rear, I'm running a Hazzard with a F/F tune and a progressive coil. Getting rid of friction, having a meaningful amount of damping for your weight, and avoiding all the compromises with one-size-fits-all dampers can help a lot more than the latest and greatest off-the-shelf product.
