Side covers 6C3-6/1

Does anyone know how to properly bend and fit the side cover? I purchased these 650 covers to replace my side covers on my 601 HDS but they are not the same shape (HDS covers are 6C3-6 and no "-1".

The HDS drawings had a side canopy so I don't have the drawing to fabricate this. I assume that I would just cut the front ~45deg or so so that the canopy tilts and the side cover doesn't interfere when open then drill the holes and cleco. Is the entire 6C3-6/1 used as is or is that piece required to be bent like on the 601 then trimmed?

Thanks!
