Lightbulb Gas cap

Okay, so I’m had a gas cap that was frozen and wouldn’t open. I used plastic pry’s for over an hour, and I finally opened it. I replaced it with a new one but with a different key. The cap does not sit flush to the tank. I’ve tried taking out all bolts on the cap and tried to level it while tightening the bolts. One side sticks up about 2 or 3 millimeters, the opposite side is flush. Is there any trick to seating the entire gas cap so all of it is flush?

take cap off and measure depth of mounting pads from surface. All that prying may have bent some. Tap ones that are too high back down, maybe use wooden dowel. Go slowly and measure often. When they're same depth, test-fit cap to see if flush. Repeat measurements and adjustments as necessary.

If measured depth is identical, then something else is wrong.
