rear crossmember help needed

[mopar4don]

I need a little help with my project.
I am ready to install the rear crossmember into my 69 Charger.
There are small metal extensions at the top of the frame rails, that look like they would weld on top of the crossmember.
In this picture they are circled and have been bent up out of the way

So my 1st question is should these extensions be welded on top of the xmember?

My next concern is if they are to be welded to the top of the crossmember, then the trunk pan has no recessed area to allow for this bump up. Which will leave a gap.

Kind stuck and not sure what to do.
Anyone have any pictures of this area?

Thanks sardillim,
In those pics, it sure looks like they extend out over the xmember to me.
