I wanted to take a step back before I make anything worse, and ask for advise. So much for thinking that a toeplate should be an easy thing! I should have said from the beginning, this is my Kibler SMR.
The forward depth of the inlay is very close, if not just right. I thought that I had the area filed flat, but it's not. It appears, but I can be certain, that it's lower on the lock side. I tried to make sure my depth lines were even, but I haven't gotten to that depth.
If you look at the pictures, you should be able to see that it is low in the middle section. But I'm worried about if I should keep removing wood towards the butt to even it out. I just REALLY don't want to do real damage. I can live with small gaps if need be.
