Dash Panel Install

[Bearhawk Builder]

Question, does the dash panel top lip go over the top lip of the cowl so it hangs from it, and then those 7 screws? Or does it mate up to it?
Thanks

Hangs over it.

So maybe I have something non standard here. It can't hang over it as is because this flange

Is wider than the boxed ends of the dash panel

So do I cut the flange back to make it fit? Those square openings on the back side of the dash panel aren't big enough to go over the windshield nut lug either.
Am I seeing this right?
