    Running 6" liner, but damper opening just slightly too small

    So my stove has a 6" collar and the flue itself is plenty big at about 10X10 ID with just under a 24 ft run. However, I measured the opening through my current damper and it is around 5 7/8. What is the proper way to complete this installation?
