Default Carpet Installation Question - Kirkham 427SC

I'm installing the wool carpet in my Kirkham this weekend. Test fitting all the pieces and the Foot boxes are done. Went to cover the Firewall/tunnel piece (the two pieces that sit over the bellhousing). Kirkhams call them the trapezoid or hanon panels. I have the two aluminum pieces fastened together and the carpet doesn't cover them both together. I'm pretty sure the carpet piece will cover just the piece that as the 90 deg break, but then I will have bare aluminum exposed above. Doesn't seem to make sense. Anybody do their own DIY carpet? I kind of doubt the carper piece is cut wrong, but always possible. The rest of the pieces are cut well, but not sure. Any thoughts?
