Then I'll glass it into the belly pan once I'm sure it will clear.

Welcome to the forums!
I'm not sure putting wheel spats just in front of the tire will make a significant difference in this situation since the gap cover almost encapsulates the wheel. Also, the inside edge rests on the rear belly pan which is connected to the rear axle so the gap cover shouldn't change its orientation significantly (any higher) than where it is now. I may eventually attach the gap cover to the rear belly pan or to the crossbeam instead of the side skirts.
The piece I have installed is just a test piece. I'll be reusing the former diffuser and cutting that up fer the gap cover once my testing is done.
