Half measure?
It's bolted down better now, for now I just slapped a 2x6 over that mess and bolted it all down. The little bit of extra height made a nice difference too.
Congrats. If you are happy, you have achieved your objective.
However, seeing that you put up with a less-than optimal height before, I feel compelled to encourage you to go further.
Re-design your loading space for optimal safety, efficiency, ease.
Your loading bench/room is tantamount to a factory floor. There is a whole profession devoted to industrial engineering, the art and science of production design. Your loading system (layout, process steps, quality control, safety measures, etc) deserves no less attention than that.
For example, consider the word "workflow". Place your components' supplies convenient to the hand that will place them into the operation and the receptacle(s) for interim or finished products, too. You can make a significant increase in safety and in speed, too, with well thought out design of your production layout, "A" to "Z", from the lighting to the dropcloth to the fire suppression scheme.
One factor often neglected is where the scale is located. Place your scale where it is protected from drafts and vibration and is easy to read and operate, eye level, in good light, etc.
Your accident (Is it a sign?) has presented you with a ripe opportunity. Seize it and be even happier.
Not wanting to bust your chops, just to encourage you. No one should make themselves suffer less than optimal working (hobby) conditions if they don't have to. Be happy.
