Just don't make it tight such that there is excessive resistance to rotation. You may have to leave a slight bit of play, simply due to the thickness of washers available to you. Nonetheless, a little bit of play is better than the large amount you currently have.

M8 washer fits the roll pin OD. Try to install an equal number of washers on each end such that the fork remains centered with minimal clearance. Might have to source some shim stock/spacers though. And then there's the task of driving in the roll pins while keeping all the pieces aligned. However, excess clearance here is accentuated at the shift knob which may or may not affect full gear engagement.
