Well this is how I did it, after being recommended the following method, and it actually is very logical and makes perfect sense.
Put ALL the shims on the long side of the diff.
Set the diff in the housing with the pinion in as well. Hold the pinion down, and rock the diff back and forth to check for play. If its loose, take the diff out, and move one of the shims and put it on the short side of the diff. Put the diff back and and repeat, until you get no 'rocking' movement. At this point reverse the process (move the shim back on the short side) so you have the tiniest amount of play in the gearbox. Mine are still good, with no dust in the gearbox.
