I wonder if you put a couple washers behind the lights (so they stick out farther) if it would'ntspread the light out more on the plate.I like this idea and might give it a try.

Yeah it appears that your plates are stamped. In NY the plates are nothing more than decals on tin, they would probably work much better on this style plate, or like others have said, maybe you can shim them slightly.

Looks like there's enough thread left to put four or five washers in there. Also, the plate is bent over a bit. Straightening it out will help too.
