I remember when I did mine, I did have a pretty big gap. I had to massage the thick brace flange piece to fit better. The trunk pan flange require quite a bit of massaging around there too.
Clamps do go a long way to help....and once you start on one end, a body hammer brings the rest in really nicely. I love how steel moves and bends!
Ok.... Can someone help me understand where and what the triangular "filler" piece is? That one is new to me.
