Had the same issue with the taillight lens, luckily I had some old lenses and we removed both tab and sanded the outer edges at the top and bottom to flush with the lens. That made the lens sit flush with the bed. In order to use a foam gasket we trimmed all the lip off the back.
How did you run the wires for the lights? I'm a little concerned about them flatting out too much when you tighten the lens down.
Also what are you using for a filler hose?

I am assuming the New Creations is the same one i have as they look identical. I notched the metal part where the light mounted on the bottom of the light. You cannot see the wires and it is the least amount of flex. For filler hose, I bought this:

I tried the 2", but it was too big to make the 90 degree bend, so I went with 1.5". I also ran a 5/8" line up to the filler and installed it right near the top of the filler so the gas pump would not shut off from the pressure. I had to tap the filler neck on the side and install the 90 degree fitting through the tail light opening. No problems filling it.
