XL Fire Ring Positioning

I was thinking of making up some type of wedges for the fire ring so I don't have to guess and fiddle if it's evenly aligned. I am thinking of making 4 wedges. Has anyone ever done this?

If by aligned, you mean evenly centered in the Egg so you have equal air gap around the edges?
I would say it's not that crucial. Adding spacers that will NOT be removed could cause cracking issues as it will prevent proper expanding and contracting of ceramics.
It's just a grill. Cook on it and enjoy.

Just my two cents but all I typically do is a quick run with my fingers along the outside perimeter of my fire ring/box and the inside of the egg. If one spot feels significantly narrower then another I might give it a real quick adjustment just to ensure there’s a large enough gap for expansion. Whole process takes about 30 seconds tops and I haven’t noticed any difference with my cooks. What @Photo Egg said, relax and have fun.
