Solution

Go to Plugins → Add New and earch for “Solid Code Theme Editor” and install/activate it.
Go to Appearance → SC Theme Editor and then expand “ocmx” on the right side and expand “theme-setup.” Click on the theme-support.php link to view the file contents on the left.
Locate the section titled /// Add support for custom headers

In that code string, you will see a height variable like this:

/// Add support for custom headers
$headerargs = array( 'wp-head-callback' => 'ocmx_header_style', 'admin-head-callback' => 'ocmx_admin_header_style', 'width' => '2000', 'height' => '520',

Change it to 635:

/// Add support for custom headers
$headerargs = array( 'wp-head-callback' => 'ocmx_header_style', 'admin-head-callback' => 'ocmx_admin_header_style', 'width' => '2000', 'height' => '635',

Be careful not to remove a quote or comma. Save your changes, then return to Appearance > Header, click Select File, then locate your image to select it. This time it should set the crop at 635.
