So if necessary, glue two pieces of the wood together to allow you to make the bigger shim.
You could simply try fitting a flat 2mm thick shim under the wedged shim to raise the whole neck up a bit, (it looks like 2mm should do it) but you then end up with a 3mm block of wood at the neck pocket that you need to hide and blend in.
