I would agree with Peter. What you have appears to be mostly form not shape. By shrinking the corner (shape), you should be able to bend down (form) the straight sides without blocking them. Blocking the sides is stretching which, if a straight line, is not required. Try making the part with a piece of heavy paper. Cut and tuck the corner on paper and watch what is happening to sides and flat top. If the top gets a bit hollow, you can gently planish the area to bring it up.
