for vertical side I think i'm to far about 0.25++ mm so if any body have any idea how to alignment the vertical side for spindle please help
I try to put shims but it's not give good result ( it to match or not enough )

Get a feeler gauge set Proto to sacrifice; it will give you various thicknesses of shim in the range you need.

When I'm tramming my router, I cut shims in aluminium beer can and finish with cooking aluminium paper foil.. The beer can is 0.004 thick and the foil is roughly 0.0007.

Not as precise as awerby's solution though
