Where exactly under the feet would you place a shim?

Getting ready to level my lathe. I'm going to shim the feet to accomplish this. Question though, where exactly under the feet should I put a shim? Should I make little "U" shaped shims that slip around either side of the bolt holding the lathe to the table?
 
As an aside, I'm glad I used screw adjustable leveling feet - leveled it once on a good solid concrete floor, 6 months later had to adjust it again. I'm guessing 70 years of strainsdon't all relax at once.
