Find a way to get the shims in there, it should only make it tight in the back. I use composite window shims, not sure if that's what you have, but I really like them and you can cut them down so you are only using the thinner half.

It sounds like maybe the connections weren't insulated too good...
I definitely know what a good shocking feels like :)
Side story: I was repairing an outlet in my mom's house and she said "ya, the breaker is off for that room"....IT WAS NOT. First time I ever yelled the f-bomb infront of my mom...haha...

My flexwatt was soldered to the wire, not plastic clamped like in the kit you can buy. I just covered the soldering with liquid electrical tape and let it dry. I LOVE aluminum duct tape, it is super handy and holds like no other! :)
