Dam thats a first for me. You might get better answers in the manual threads here. Shimmin it dosent look like it will fix it because it pushes it closer to the pressure plate. Did the send you the right clutch? Im not up on the C6 clcth set up but it looks like its grinding on the pressure plate. Can u take a pic of the clutch also?

clutch is fine. the center of the slave is pushing thru the trowout bearing

i found a guy that thought he had tq tube bushing problems in a forged ls7 build that turned out to be he was given a c5 ls1 bearing not a c6 ls2 bearing. i guess the ls1 part is a little bigger and allows the input shaft to move around and destroy the inside of the slave. then once it weak it just pushs the inside out...here is his pic and it is a twin of my first slave........

i called the store where i got my bearing and they did not have a listing for a bearing for my car....so i guess they just gave me an 04.......

I think you nailed it. The input shaft is not being supported so it is rubbing against the sides of the TOB.
