Started doing my round headlight conversion and the new core support isn't fitting correct to the inner wheel well pinch welds

Anyone else come into an issue like this and if so what did you do to get it to fit correct.

I just did mine this year in my project; I just cut out the inner fender and added more steel to fill the hole. Lots of hacking + welding, but ended up looking fine. The pictures are somewhere in here:
