What's the difference between current height and fit height? I would raise my saddle to where it was at fitting time unless it's quite a big difference in which case I'd start with a 2-5mm raise and see how that went for a week first.

So I have some tightness behind my knee.
Behind knee - fleshy bit on the back of your leg? Try raising your saddle to give you a bit more room/extension.
Behind knee - inside your leg behind the kneecap? If you mean this then I'm not sureDuring TCR I had achilles pain and slightly remedied by lowering saddle change of position. Again on the same side.
You're more likely to have overuse problems during TCR, so I would try bringing your cleats back to protect the achilles. You then to compensate your shorter foot extension you will have to lower your saddle a little
Since lockdown volume has increased largely turbo based. More power focused. I suspect bringing me a little forward in my position on the saddle.
For reference I have two pairs of shoes available one without the shim.
What was the shim for?

Before TCR I had my saddle raised a little and a shim fitted under the cleat on the same side.

My saddle is now slightly lower (few mm) than my fit prior to TCR.

Given current lockdown situation and I need to try remedy it myself with the help of internet bikefit obviously. I have some thoughts but would be good to hear others.
