Hey Tyr, thanks for posting!
Ami looks great!
Very nice job on the eyelid color. Did you paint them or use makeup?
It seems as though some heads do have extremely deep sockets.
I've seen this now on some JY heads. Is Ami a JY?
I'm probably going to have to start providing deeper dished bases with the kits.
One thing you can do is glue some washers to the back of the bases.
1/4" flat washers (for 1/4" bolts) are about the same diameter as the bases.
For metric, M8 flat washers would work as well...

For optimum rotation there should be about 4mm of gap between the eyeball and the pedestal.
Extending them farther may cause them to come off the dish base when turned.
As a last resort if you have a lot of problems with the pedestals, they can be removed and used with the cotton backing like the factory eyes if necessary.
Are you using the longest screws with the pedestals?
One tip on the brown lenses...
You will notice that the color of the iris is a little lighter on one side than the other.
Try to put the irises in with the lighter part down and the same on both sides.
This will enhance the shadow effect and look more natural.
