By putting an extra one on the left side I was aiming to widen both sides an equal amount, but that isn't possible. Using a hollow tech bottom bracket, so it's only the non-drive side crank that gets attached.
That's true, my shoulders sit an completely different levels after breaking my collar bone. I find I have to counter that into my break setup, otherwise I feel really off after awhile.
Hopefully Look get back to me with a spare hanger so I can make it work without the spacers.
If anyone on here has a hanger that goes on a KG 221, the beers are on me.

That wouldn't make any difference would it? (if by "left" you mean non-drive side). The aim is to shift the drive-side BB cup (including spindle if it's a square/ISIS/Octalink BB) out a few mm and take the chainset with it. Putting the spacer on the non-drive side wouldn't achieve that.
I've often wondered about this since I've measured the downtube-crank face distance on some of my bikes and it never comes up exactly the same on both side (NDS is usually wider). I suspect it won't make a huge difference though: think of all the other things that affect it like cleat placement on shoe and foot placement in shoe, not to mention biometric issues like unequal-length legs.
