all 3 bolts to go where they're supposed to with the shims in place.

I noticed a similar condition when I did my 36k service.  Since I
can't imagine that the tank itself has changed, my speculation was
that the tank's rubber mounting pads had compressed... 

Did you try shimming the front mount and the rears at the same time?
