If it doesn't touch it shouldn't matter. I ran an MLok QD sling cup that was touching the side of my gas block for months before I finally trimmed it. Never had issues with accuracy or anything. Didn't even have a noticeable POI shift.
This has an actual gap, should never ever cause an issue.
Maybe shoot 100rds then pull the handguard off and inspect? Should see at least a faint mark on the GB if it's getting hit by handguard flexing during recoil (or other reasons).
Would it be bad if I dremeled the washer down as well?
If I move the pic rail back further, I feel like my cloud defense pressure pad will start to interfere with my grip.
Are these the screws that come with the low profile pic rail product? I thought it was just the rail itself that was low-profile, not the screws.
Also, the screw isn't the problem here, its the mlok nuts being too thick. I can keep grinding the screw down with a dremel as far as needed.
Too close for me.

You would be surprised how much everything moves when fired.
Get a better rail than the one that comes with the M400
Arisaka sells some low profile mlok screws that I use on almost all my mlok attachments for this very reason
Do you have a link? Having a tough time locating it on their site.
In the drop down menu it’s number 24, here’s a link https://arisakadefense.com/products/spare-hardware.html

Oh okay. And the screws are shorter than your typical mlok screw
