I modified the top rear of the passenger quarter. The end cap sits nicely now and matches up with the trunk lid very well.
I moved on to the driver's side and got it where I wanted it. It will likely need a thin coat of filler in a few places to be perfect. Looks pretty good, though.
I then put the tail panel in place again to see what I was up against. I think my original assessment that the left side was high is incorrect. I think the passenger side maybe low. I set the bumper brackets in place to see how they interacted with the tail panel. The driver's side is near perfect. Passenger side, not so much.
So with the end caps welded in and fitted with the trunk, the tail panel sits a little crooked on the rear trunk support. Everything is level, the trunk support is properly located on the ends of the rear frame rails. The trunk gaps look pretty good, so I'm not sure what is going on here. I'm tempted to just weld it in as is since the trunk gaps are fine. Perhaps modify the holes on the tail panel or modify the bumper bracket? Video will be posted soon.
