Well..I have been working on this all day and I am having one  $@!#@! of a time..I kinda wish I had not put so much taper to it..Going from a taper to flat with plywood is not going easy..

I am going to cut grooves on the back side of the plywood to make it flexible to create the transition..

Think this through..I think I have made a mess..maybe you shouldn't be listening to all this..I may have screwed up in a big way :-[ 
The best mechanic is the one that can make it run with the least amount of parts!

Sorry to hear your having trouble. I would think you would need to have the flat, but round out from there.  the sharp corner transition from the flat to the taper is probably the issue.
