Default 69’ GTO Tail light Bezel and Gasket Thickness?

Another day, another thwarting ..

Ames repro bezels (driver side worst offender) not sitting flush w/ body … this combined w/ a set of new, thicker gaskets is not allowing lenses to sit fully into bezel.

I’m wondering if anyone’s had this experience w Ames bezels? I’m thinking of trimming material away?

And also, should I go w these gaskets and hope they compress w time?

Thanks!

I can't speak on the bezels since I have originals but the gaskets crush down and work great
