That 1/10th of a mm is a pretty tight clearance between the edge of the plate and the slighty larger diameter body. If you had the unit off the car and put a flashlight behind it, "you'd see the light", so to speak.
That slight depression on the plate means you're lying to the fuel distributor about how much air is passing by the plate (that or the teeter toter the plate moves on is damaged so it won't move on its own; which is unlikely if it's really easy to move).
I think your next step is probably to test the amount of air going through the idle air valve (and if the valve is working) and to look at the fuel control pressure.
Both tests are in the manuals and also in posts in the archives here.
