The best, most permanent fix would be a thin brass spacer or washer. Most reels come with one in there for just this situation. The cap is vented and I can see the paper spacer deteriorating over time. For a quick fix though, it'll work. Keep an eye on the levelwind. To check it, apply slight pressure against it with a finger while cranking. It. Feel for any hesitation, hang ups, bumps etc especially at each end where it changes direction. Keep it clean and clear of debris and oil it lightly.

Quickest route would be to send it in to Mike....

That's not true at all. A quick search shows me that you have two BPS's within your state. The one in Ashland is only 107 miles away from you in Staunton. 

I was trying to show you how far away one was. We have NEVER gone there before either!

Have your dad or mom take you to the hardware store so you can buy a small brass washer to fix your reel. Be sure to take the cap and washer with you so you know it'll fit/match up.
