Quick and easy question 340 main seal “tabs”

On the 340 real main seal, the two little tabs, points, nipples, etc.. that stick out of each side of the rear main cap, do u cut them flush with the cap or put the oil pan gasket on top of them, they seem thick and hard enough to cause the oil pan gasket to possibly not lay flat even when tightened, also using a Milidon crush proof oil pan gasket if that changes anything, thanks all
