Yes, that's exactly it.

The photo you're showing is of one of the ILLusion Kinetics adjustable stirrups. You'll notice a section that looks like it's cut in to a thin arm. In these stainless steel stirrups, you can actually bend that arm outwards as required. The good thing about this, is that you can do all the adjustments you need, without having to take the gun apart.

When I'm doing the "ghetto method" of just gluing material on, I try to measure the length of slack that needs to be taken up, then I find a material that matches that thickness to glue to the front of the stirrup. In my experience, going a little bit smaller than your measurement is better than going larger. This just saves you time from having to continuously take the gun apart and reassemble it as you dial in the sizing.
