I would glue a 1/4" thick shim on the back side of the head then shave it and shape it to blend in. You might have to take off a little thickness from that shim or from the string side of the head.

I used small sheet metal screws to hold down my strings and create the required down-pressure on the nut.

I'm also temporarily using a chopstick for a bridge. I'm actually surprised at how good that sounds.

I found an easy fix for this.  Electrical straps AKA Midget Straps.

Thanks Dan.  I just saw a previous post on this.  Other than that do you think I need to reduce the tuner height?

You need to use a string tree or some other device to hold the strings down against the nut. That will stop the buzzing. Here is a pic of a simple way to do it using a small piece of wood.
