At the tool holders highest setting it was still an 1/8" under.
I didn't really wanna go down the shim path, I just want reliable and solid really.
I could have shimmed it but Shimming the tool post doesn't sound to me to be a solid idea.

You are a machine operator...
Do not put a shim under it...;-)
Make a stress spreading plate that goes between the top of the compound which may have a small surface area and the bottom of the tool post.
Make the shape of the bottom such that it matches the shape of the compound even have a male part that aligns with t slot.
This makes for a larger interface between tool post and compound and spreads the stresses out.
Done well then you can say it was done by design and not by mistake
