reinstalling cluster

[hinkv10]

My 87 v10 is a hodge podge of misc parts and I'm sure the cluster is from another vehicle. Many of the tabs are broken but it will have to do for the moment as funds for buying anything else are nonexistent.

I didn't completetly remove the cluster just the covers and the dash pad when I was doing the steering column, heater core and reinstalling the radio. Everything was jury rigged and I'm trying to sort it out as I go along. Take a look at the pics of the cluster. I put it in the way I thought it should go but now the bezel can't be installed. There is a gap of an inch or more at the bottom and I can't get the screws in. Any advice? or pics of how it should be installed. Should the white piece go inside the dash? thanks in advance

Four crappy pics. I'm thinking maybe the white plastic is suppossed to go behind the metal dash..???
