If you are already touching at 22nd fret a shim only raises the fretboard even higher so that probably won't work.
On both my Tele's i had to sand down between 5mm to 7mm in the neck pocket on both to make them playable.
Best to check measure height on a similar store bought guitar to act as a reference point.
