Hi Corky, I think Tim meant that the chrome ring is protruding too far through the black surround rather that the surround not fitting flush with the bodywork.
As to getting the the lamp pod to be flush when closed and the trim flush when open there's a straightforward routine to go through.
Step one is to set the adjuster rod to a length such that the pod can open/close without fouling anywhere as the actuating arm rotates on the motor spindle.
Step two is to put the pod flush when closed and nip up the spindle nut.
Step three is to power up the motor to the up position and then cut the power so it sits up.
Step four, wind the adjuster open or closed so that the trim sits flush with the bodywork, counting the number of turns this takes.
Step five, halve this number and wind the adjuster back in the opposite direction.
Step six, slacken the spindle nut, check the pod doesn't foul as the arm rotates around the spindle, then position it so that it's flush with the body and nip up the securing nut.
Step seven, switch the power off so that the pod drops and it should end up parked flush.
If you still have an imbalance repeat the steps above and it'll get there!
