Richard other guys have said the lower patch panel fit fine for them. Hopefully yours will fit correctly. It's weird. As I was applying the filler it looked like I just needed a skim coat. My long ruler showed the panel to be basically flat. It seemed like I was continuously adding more and more filler. When I sanded it all off that's exactly what was there. It looked like rings of a tree. It took hours to remove it all. Now again at bare metal and my long ruler shows it to be basically straight!
