Romvlvs the hinge is meant to be rolled to the outside of the helmet. It is the cheek plate at fault also the pin looks on the heavy side, it would be better to bend the cheek hinge out to pull the plate in. Again put the pin in the plate if you have a vice put the hinge into the vice with the outside facing you and gentley bend the hinge out. Use wood in the vice so it dose not crush the hinge. If the last picture is what you have done so far you could still flattern it more.
This is from Robinson's book as you can see how small the hinge is on the cheek gaurd. If you look at the original the top of the cut out is also inline with the dome so if you can flatten the gaurd down as far as the cut out. If you have a socket set use one that wil fit around the cut out, with light hammer gentle knock that area back while leaveing the embossed area still pronounced. Possibly try this first before bending the hinge, good luck
