Always use shims whenever possible, they make your life easier. Also, do not tighten the bolts all the way down till you're happy with how it is aligned. Tighten them snug, so they don't move easily, but can still be shifted around if you move it. When you're happy then go ahead and tighten them down. Also, use anti seize on the threads of the bolts.
