The "packing pieces", or shims, go between the firewall and master
cylinders. They move the master cylinders forward which then moves the
pedal arms forward resulting in the pedal foot pad being lower. This way
you can adjust the clutch and brake pedals to be at the same height. It
does not change the stroke of the master cylinder in any way.
