Swapping a SS bracelet onto a 116506

[SeeDweller]

NOTE: Early today, I put this post into a different thread, but have not had much luck with serious answers. Hoping someone can help advice me here....
In advance, thank you!

As you can tell by the "Title" of the thread . . . my wife has talked me into obtaining a new (through AD) Platona! OMG, it's gorgeous, to be sure! That ice-blue set off by the brown bezel and sub-dials! (Drool....).

However, I'm into keeping things in really nice condition, and fortunately, so is she.
Thus, we've agreed to put a SS bracelet on the Platinum watch (it'll blend in very well, and definitely hold up to scratches WAY better!).
(And I beg you to please skip the comments that if we can afford the Platona, we can afford to wear out the bracelet - - it's not what we prefer to do)
So, we ordered the SS bracelet (78590) that fits the modern SS Daytona, and we're hoping to put it on the new 116506.

..... and the problem is: The case sizes are actually different! The pin-hole "spacing" (the location of the pin-hole on the lug, relative to the case)) is not the same on the SS and the Platinum version!!!
(Wish I was better at posting pix, because the actual profile of the SS lug and the Platinum lug are slightly different.
I do NOT know why they'd make the Platinum lug even more bulky, but they did....).

When installed on the Platinum watch, the end link for the SS bracelet is loose enough that it "swivels" outward, away from the platinum watch-case..
It's not attractive, and worse, will probably wear the lugs down (from the movement of the SS against the softer metal).

What does anyone recommend?
1. Is there any "shim" or "spacer" that could be used, to tighten up the end link?

2. Can I use the Platinum end link, but attach the SS bracelet and clasp?

3. Other thoughts?

Again, I appreciate any creative ideas you have!!
