You are right TMM, fuel neck gets put in from inside the trunk. All you see when installed are the 3 screw heads when looking from the outside of the quarter panel.
Then the gas cap will fit correctly.
So it goes like this, drop the gas tank, then position the filler neck into the quarter panel from the inside the trunk. Then work the gas tank back up at the same time working the filler neck into it. Keep filler neck properly positioned into the quarter panel from the inside, while bringing the gas tank back up to position.
Someone just stabbed the filler neck in from outside the car with the gas tank still in the car.
