2 or 3 chip "low profile" 1mb SIMMs in a Plus?

JC8080

I have a Plus with an '030 accelerator, the Killy clip broke years ago and I had someone install some pin headers in place of the clip. The SIMMs are a bit too tall and this keeps the accelerator from seating fully, so it is only working intermittently. I was thinking I might be able to use some of the lower profile 1mb SIMMs with the 2 or 3 horizontal chips, rather than the taller SIMMs with 8 or 9 vertical chips like it currently has. Is there any reason a Plus wouldn't like that type of SIMM? Something like this:

Yes, that RAM is basically made for a Mac Plus/SE/Classic. You might find older low profile RAM locally, they're easy to source.
 
I have piles or RAM and the low profile stuff is fine to use. I've put a lot in Pluses and SEs, never gave it a second thought really. Like Byrd said, easy to source.
