On the first picture with the pressure plate mounted to the flywheel, you can see where the fingers are with the pressure plate tightened to the flywheel -- and yes they are fairly through their "stroke" which limits the amount that the release bearing can push. I did think about "install washers between the pressure plate and the flywheel" idea and I think that will probably work but for $50 maybe I'll just get the thinner disk (assuming that is the right answer).
