I prefer to leave the bending of keys OR the adding of Cork to the repair person in this case (crows foot adjustment) and have a simple 'temporary hack".
Sticky labels.
Find the gap that Paul mentions, and one at a time add a sticky label under the key (between key and crows foot) until the gap is filled. They can be easily removed by the repair tech, and if you add too many (add too many and the E/B pad won't close, a new problem) just take them off and start over (easy if you've counted layers).
Over the years I've used little round ones, big ones cut into smaller bits, airmail slickers from the post office etc
In schools etc someone always has some in a drawer somewhere, and it's easy to take a few extra so you have some at the ready... I seem to have to do this repair for my students at least once every few weeks, and sometimes my hack repair keeps their clarinets operating for months.
