I have a ‘73 bus that’s missing the fuel gauge. I sourced this part and I’m having trouble installing it. It doesn’t seem to physically fit and the stud on the back doesn’t line up with an existing hole. Any tips would be appreciated!

I think it goes higher, behind the cutout, and thru the two holes. There is a silver disk in the center. Also, check the date stamp on the back of the instrument panel to see about what year it is from.
