Default Handle bar spacers?

Is there such a thing? My reason for asking is that I switched out the handlebars/idle/throttle cables on my wife's SG (07) & extended the switch cables and now there is about a 1/4" gap between the master cylinder on the right side with the same sized gap on the left side . This gap prevents the lever from compressing or making contact with the brake switch button(s).

I didn't have this problem when I did my own SG... what did I do wrong?

Any help appreciated.
Jim
