After watching the video I can see that the back edge is not shrunk enough
So this is what you must do....
Put the panel on a sand bag and block about two inches in from the back edge and try to blend the blows towards the center of the panel that will create some tuks on your back edge ...shrink them down ...that will shorten the back edge and give you more bulbous shape in the middle of the panel... after that you might have to bend the back edge on your knees in order to get it going around the buck again ... but this time the panel should sit down on the buck where you have showed been still away from the buck .. in another words ... I can see that the back edge still too long, it needs to be shorter, then needs to be bent over your knees to make it fit around the buck
