The rubber seal should be right below that ring leaving just the ring exposed.

I will pass this on to the shop performing the restoration work on our truck. All the ones I have seen pictures of on the internet, the cap is pretty close to the side of the cab, without coming in contact with the paint on the side of the cab.
