Guys I think I'm going to call it done...
It's not exactly to my design but it will serve it's purpose.
As you can see the flange doesn't follow the original track perfectly, and it's not as deep as I wanted. I had to open the panel up to get closer to the template, which lessened the depth. It also has a small hollow in one section that I'm not quite sure how to fix....I ran the wheel back and forth (short way like Peter suggested) but cant seem to alleviate that low.

Following Peter's method it certainly is much closer.
Can I ask, if someone hired you to make this piece and gave you the template of where the flange had to land, how would you go about it?
Im trying to figure out how I would do this in the future to ensure my flange lays where I want it. Yes, I pre-mapped it out on the flat blank, so that is likely problematic. I left extra material on the outside of my flange track but as I was shrinking and shrinking I eventually trimmed it down to the line to help get more shrink where I needed it.
Anyway, thank you all very much.
I'm getting really good at making scrap.
so frustrating.
