Question Trim the trim?

Due to some front-end damage (former post about the Nürburgring), I had to replace (along with TONS of other parts) the "trim cover" part 996.504.811.00 that goes around the lower lock mechanism of the front lid.

I ordered this from my official Porsche dealer and he sends me part 996.504.811.02 claiming that the old part has been discontinued and was replaced with this one. Only, it doesn't fit:



The "wings" that go on either side of the frunk that are supposed to sit flush in the channels, don't. Parts sales guy at the dealer still claims it's the right part and it needs to be modified by trimming some part of it but his service department can't tell me where exactly. Anybody heard such heresy?
