Nope,
you have to use whatever is necessary for EACH valve. The pros can put the valve on a lathe to get standard height. DIYourselfers have to take what they get, even if that means each valve button at a different height.
Don't forget, the valve has to be aligned when it is not depressed too. Small mirrors and fiber optics let you see what you are doing!
It is doable, you just need some basic tools and a lot of time.
