No, that is no problem either, because a) plumbatae aren't very long darts (current thinking has them between 20 and 40 cm) and dished shields are not that curved that this would be a problem. My (totally unproven) suspension system

This is the old version, with a flat shield and plumbatae twice as long, but you get the idea:
