Just comment out the spaces before the closing brace of your new 
heading definitions as below:

\renewcommand{\subsubsection}{%
\renewcommand{\@seccntformat}[1]{({\csname the##1\endcsname})~~}%1
\@startsection
{subsubsection}%
{3}% 3 is the level for subsubsection
{5mm}% Indent subsubsections
{-\baselineskip}% skips 1 baseline after end of previous subsubsection
{0.5\baselineskip}% half baseline and the first paragraph starts
{\normalfont\normalsize\scshape}% NEW COMMENT
}

\renewcommand{\paragraph}{%
\renewcommand{\@seccntformat}[1]{({\csname the##1\endcsname})~~}%1
\@startsection
{paragraph}%
{4}% 4 is the level for subsubsubsection (paragraph)
{5mm}% indent paragraph/subsubsubsections the same as subsubsections
{-\baselineskip}% skips 1 baseline after end of previous subsubsection
{0.5\baselineskip}% half baseline and the first paragraph starts
{\normalfont\normalsize\itshape}% NEW COMMENT
}
\renewcommand{\theparagraph}{\roman{paragraph}}
\makeatother

Unpredictable indeed are the effects of spurious spaces!
