Headlight and wiper dash hole alignment with gauge bezel

The sheet metal holes are slightly further out and maybe a tad higher when looking at them straight-on.

I'm curious if this is common/regular on other trucks, or if mine is slightly askew.

Basically, when making this new bezel I'm trying to determine if there would be a detriment centering them better than my factory appeared to be.

Cheers!

I don't think it would make any difference as long as the screw on chrome bezels didn't hit the outside raised lip. (if you are going to use them)

EDIT: It looks like the screw on bezels might hit the raised areas with the hash marks, below the holes.
