Does anyone have info or photos on the correct placement of the fuel tank pads for the tank to be positioned correctly.

My shop is having trouble seating the tank low enough for a correct installation. How much lower do the bumper pads need to be to make this work and what is the best way to install them? Here are some pics of how it sits presently. Advice is appreciated!
