Rotate the engine so that the valve is open. The bucket should be pushed right down. Try and install the tool so that the leg is over the bucket and tighten it down. Rotate the engine so the cam comes off the bucket, if the leg is positioned properly it will hold down the valve and you will get the shim out. You might need a (dentists) pick and/or magnet to get the shim out.
I haven't done this before but thats how I would approach it.
Let us know what happens,

That's what I thought too - but the tool doesn't position the leg over the edge of the bucket, and there's not enough free play to make it so. Also, I suspect that if the leg of the tool was in that position the valve would be completely open, and I wouldn't be able to get underneath the shim with the pick.
And I thought that 70 quid's worth of Triumph tool would make the job easy!
