factory fuel tank skidplate help

my 87' 4runner came with the fuel tank skid plate in the trunk. the previous owner had taken it off to do some (unknown) work on the fuel tank. i dropped the tank yesterday to replace the fuel gauge sending unit and figured now would be a good time to put the skid plate back on.

it fits fine on the front of the truck (i.e. facing the front of the truck) but there is a 2" gap at the rear of the tank and it appears that if there were no gap the bolt hole do not align.

any ideas?? is there a filler plate that's missing? can anyone look at there skid plate/rear fuel tank mounting points and take a picture?
