I had a customer request to remove leather wrap and replace it with the Irish linen. However, the Irish linen does not match the rest of the Cue the l groove is too low. How do I “fill in the groove? “
 
Depends on how thick the leather was, or how deep the channel is now. Most linen is about .025" thick, compared to leather that can be .030" and thicker. I have used 5 minute epoxy to coat the whole channel and then re-cut the channel to the proper depth, and have had to use wood veneer applied like a leather wrap, then sand to the proper depth....it really depends.

Unfortunately, I am using a Unique Products, Cue companion Lathe and have no way to cut the channel
 
Just thinking outside the box here. Could you use some copy paper, 28lb= .004-.005, or 32 lb = .006-.007 first and just glue that down first with something like elmers or titebond? You could even use a heavier weight if needed. I may be all wet on this, just trying to help.
