I will try really cranking down on the sector bolt with an extension ( how much torque can that 7/16 bolt take?) Failing that, I will proceed to making a shim from some 0.010 steel sheet that I have kept for those "just in case" situations.
Well that is good news.

If you are still concerned, maybe put a small amount of Prussian Blue on each side of the shank, re-install the arm and then tighten the pinch bolt to see exactly what areas have pressure being applied.
