40 PU trans cover

[R2W55]

My 40 Pickup interior floor cover for the transmission does not cover the transmission correctly.
I have tried numerous rubber boots and none are large enough to cover the opening.
Did the replacement cover get cut out too much?
What about the oval opening on the top section?
Any pictures or thoughts would be appreciated.

There is a sponge rubber spacer that fills the gap between the sheetmetal floor pan and the shifter tower. You can probably make the spacer from a garden knelling pad as well as a repop spacer. It needs to fit tight enough to fill the space and keep out fumes and oil.

On my 40 Tonner there is a plate (photos attached) that covers that gap. Over the plate there is a rubber boot that covers the shift tower below the cap on the shift arm and fills in the space between the shift tower and the plate. I can't say if this would be the same for the 1/2 ton PU.

Thanks guys. So the way I have the plate right now is normal? Just add the rubber filler? Was there a rubber shift boot on the originals? I can't find any pictures that show this area.
I was also thinking of getting the rubber floor mat from MACS but kind of pricey.
