So your box is out 1/16”
And your firewall the same 1/16” it would seem.

If you cant pound an outward bow into the firewall then you might take the time to make a thick iron bar stock reinforcement bar to span that gap area when the box is bolted on .

A 2” long length of 1/8” thick bar stock would be quite stiff.

Kinda the same idea as a valve cover load spreader bar.

It would not look stock if that might matter to you, but it might get you 1/16” closer to having no gap on top.
