Adding the Thigh Belt - should I trim?

[batninja]

I'm in the home stretch of my AM kit, and getting ready to attach the ammo/battery  to the right thigh bottom.  Assuming that the middle box should be centered along the butt cover in the front, I see that one end of the belt curves perfectly along the 'flat' of the side of the thigh armor:

 

However, the other end extends past the flat of the outside of the thigh armor, by about 1.5":

 

Should I trim this end down to make it easier to rivet to the thigh?  I wasn't sure if there was a specified length that this piece needs to be for 501st/EIB acceptance.

If anything, I would trim the inside portion down to match that flat on the inner thigh.

As you can see in this picture not all the ammo packs were centered along the butt cover in the front. I'd say don't trim it first, but move the pack clockwise so both sides of the ammo pack will align with the ends of the flat side of the thigh.

And for a better explanation of what I meant, here are some pictures on a screen-used suit.
