Above or below spacers?

I am putting my Vixen Mini Mount on an EQ5 tripod to gain more height and stability. I got Graham to alter an extention to fit both threads but the extention is hollow and the EQ5 centre bolt screws in but goes straight through into the hollow section!! So, I need about a 25-30mm spacer so that the EQ5 thread engages the extention tube thread. Do I add it above or below the mount head??
