installing R tail light panels/housings???

just received my R tail light housings/panels and cked the fit. for those who have installed these on their cars i have a few questions:

1 it seems i need to grind down the lip of the tail lights housing on the BODY of the car to insert them. the yellow arrows indicate the parts of the R panels which are too big to insert. is this true? have others had to alter the body of their car to insert the R panels?

2 in re: to mounting screws, i have seen them mounted in the same way the OE lights mount indicated by the blue dots. i have also seen them mounted by mounting into the lip in 3 areas indicated by the red dots. these panels have so much flex/bow that it seems they should be mounted in 3 areas. at first i thought the panles were too short but realised they have so much flex to them and need to be "uncurled". once stretched they contour the body.

so any feedback would help. tia.
