Still a bit hard to understand but I THINK I see what's happening.

The part I'm struggling with is that one panel goes between the structural bow (you don't see) & the outer bow you DO see. But the other panel goes in the gap that's IN the bow.

This SEEMS like there would be a noticeable difference in the flush fit of the two panels, but chances are I am agonizing over nits and it'll look fine once I sand/paint the bows gloss black (or whatever color) with new black headliner panels.
