I tried lowering the knobs with little success. The problem is that the pot housing sits too high above the surface of the cab.
I sought out a solution and had little success online. I ended up creating a prototype disc that would fit on the cab surface. It was keyed to fit around the pot. An adhesive backing was added to ensure it stayed in place. I was then able to put the knob on and the rocking was eliminated. As a bonus, I could control the resistance for turning the throttle knob by adjusting the pressure applied by the knob onto the disc.
In talking with a friend of mine, we decided to make some and make them available to other NCE users. We call it the Cab Saver.
Below are a number of images and the sequence of installing one.

They are available in multiple colors. You can use specific colors to designate throttles or use all the same color. They are made from translucent acrylic and are a snap to install.
Installation is easy.
Step 1) Remove the throttle knob using and Allen wrench to loosen the 2 screws. Remove the foam disc from NCE if applicable.
Step 2) Peel the backing off the adhesive back and place it on the Cab pressing lightly to secure. Ensure that the Cab Saver is aligned correctly with the potentiometer housing. It is designed to fit snugly around the housing.
Step 3) Optionally add the NCE foam disc.
Step 4) Place the throttle knob onto the cab.
Step 5) Tighten the 2 Allen screws.
