I really don't think that's the next step.  It's probably reasonably close.
At first I had mounted the hanger off to one side, but with a couple easy
passes of a file, this ended up working just fine -

Sorry to use a non-riv example...

There's little to no torque on the hanger (or at least there _shouldn't_
be), and there's usually a bit of extra material on the thing. So, I
wouldn't hesitate to grind it down a bit so that it does not act like a
spacer in the seat binder lug.
