Bridge question: does this look OK?

Alright, so I adjusted the claw as suggested by pretty much everyone.
Loosened it by about 1-1/4 turn on both claw screws.
Now, my bridge does sit parallel with the guitar body and strings, but at a distance of 3/32" instead of the recommended 1/16".
I readjusted the truss rod ever so slightly, readjusted the action and intonation, and now my high E is pretty much completely bottomed out and the E string is just a tad higher than I would like (a hair over .060").
Plays well, just like it did before (but then again, I'm no pro to judge if everything is really setup correctly).
Here are the pics...
What do you think? Leave it like that or further adjustments required?

You’ll see from John Mann’s video, he uses a 2.5mm hex key (Allen Key) to set the six trem screw heights.

Before I saw your pic with the steel rule, by eye I thought that the trem looked a little high above the guitar top.

As long as it works for you and your action is good for you, .5mm shouldn’t be a problem. But remember you have that room for adjustment, if needed.
