Fuel lever started reading fine after 3/4 tank like I hoped.

I think whats causing the problem is the baffle you're supposed to bend. I bent basically the whole baffle up to the top of the tank thinking it would be better to just get the whole thing out of the way since it's pretty worthless. Well when I tested the clearance of the sensor I only concentrated on the lower part of the sweep since that's usually the main concern. I didn't pay attention to the top part of the sweep. If you do it my way you won't have to worry about it clearing the low part. Just make sure you get the baffle flush with the tank roof.

I will fix it later, but right now it's not a concern since the gauge reads accurate once the gas tank gets below 3/4 tank. Sharing so you can learn from my mistake.

I think I smell some gas in the car. Bought gas friendly RTV sealant. Going to check the flange screws to see if they are leaking from the threads. I could just be paranoid and it's just from my test pipes though.
