Ok Nicole , what you can do is drop both ear's down by a couple of mm just make the screw holes slightly bigger in the lid which will drop the ears by a couple of mm , also i think you could lose ONLY a couple of mm around the round ear part, this will pull the curved part of the ear in towards the tube's , i dont think you should trimm any more of the curved parts of the ears just see what they are like when you have taken a couple of mm of the round parts , then you can try and get your desired curve around the tubes do a little at a time and test fit untill you are happy , But you do relize that the origianls were trimmed all over the place and far from neat
