Default Replacing stock tank emblem with vintage

I'm really wanting to replace the stock tank emblem on my 18 Road King with the 55-56 FL Panhead style. MoCo part number 61814-55T. Or the later model circular.

Catalog says does not fit 08-current Touring. I've search the forums and scene quite a few bikes that fall in that year range the haves vintage emblems.

Do these do these have to be flexed/ lightly bent to fit current tanks? Installation advice appreciated.

Examples:

The examples look like 5 gallon tanks.
Your roadking has a 6 gallon tank.
Might be a little bit different curve.
