I'm installing a new floyd, and I'd really appreciate some advice on the stud placement. I think I may have hammered these in a bit too far. As you can see, the flute shape of the inserts begins slightly below the guitar body, maybe 2.5mm. What should I be shooting for here? Thanks in advance!

If they're solid, can't you still back the studs out of the threaded insert to raise the action to an appropriate place?
