Default 1965 Dash insert backing plate fit

I just received a dash insert backing plate manufactured by R.E.M Automotive. I thought it would simply drop into place i the dash bezel but I was wrong.

The bezel is out of the car and freshly painted. It wasn't rechromed. Because the aluminum is so thin I'm afraid of distorting it by trying to "snap-it" into place. It seems like not only is the ouside too large but the pod and heater panel cut outs may be too small. Is there a better unit available? Is this common?
