Any tips on increasing serving diameter to fit nock. Have tried larger diameter servings. Next thing will add a few strings to serving area.

Wrap string with enough layers of plumbers teflon tape to meet your need then serve over it. Lightest modification I have found.
shoot straight shoot often

I use lengths of bow string under the nock point area to increase the diameter.
Just add one at a time, serve over it and check the fit.
You can unwrap and add until you get the fit you want.
Write it down somewhere for future use.

Quick fix is dental floss if your fairly close. Extra pieces of string under serving is a good long term fix as mentioned. I always unstrung the bow and un twist the string  a little and run the string pieces thru  the string. This holds them tight when the bow is strung and makes serving easier.
