Default Dash bezel re-install help

I finished up my Exhaust Commander Dash install by re-installing the bezel. Everything snaps in to place, there are no bulges or rattles, but the top part around the DIC and HUD buttons just doesn't look quite right.

I re-installed it twice with same results both times. Am I not putting it back together quite right? Or is it right and I just didn't notice the fit before.

I changed out my oem console and dash pods a few years ago for a body colored set. I just went out to the garage to check the fit and it looks good. It looks like the top of your dash is bent up a little.

Any ideas on how to make it more snug?

I would bet one of the push pins is not lining up. Look in back and make sure they are not bent down or up
