As far as the mismatch in thickness, my windows were surplus and I had the same issue. Just get a sheet of 1/8" thick whatever you can find and cut out a nice ring the same size as the window frame for a shim.
Yep in hindsight I would have done that as well. I did use form solid shims in places all around. The windows seem to clamp in pretty well, but I will be doing the same as you, with an 1/8" shim. They are glued in place very well at this point too

Should have the last window in today.
