I found these but they have a minimum order of 960 :banghead:
I only need like 4 or 6
these would work especially if I bent the contacts down
they may only be 13mm deep
I'll keep lookin'
I still think there may be a way to make some too

Take a happ button, remove the spring, and cut it down to near the ring. Super glue in a leaf spring and jerry rig a happs style switch in there... Most of a Happs (or similar) button is shaft and spring... If you are willing to sacrafice a button, im sure you will find a way to make them really short. There is a limit tho, you need some level of decernable travel for the button...

They have a great selection of Sanwa and Seimitsu parts, and ship super fast. I've ordered a ton of parts from them.
The sanwa buttons aren't going to be as thin as that button you linked because they have external microswitches (that are a lot nicer than the ones on that button) I can't find a tape/ruler anywhere handy, but the sanwa screw-in i have in front of me is probably just a touch over 1" tall, going from top to bottom of the terminals.
If i'm understanding your clearance issue correctly, I think you could make the sanwas work if you got screw ins. Route out a hole a little larger than the button and mount it inside the hole
