I'm not sure I've even bought the correct replacement part... Old: New: Thanks

I've got a wooden batton at the front door and it's got to stay put. However, I'm unsure how to make this look good. I guess I'll still need the 10mm gap - so suggestions for how to finish this edge appreciated. Also, I'm going to start at the door jamb in the pic. Is it right to only go as far...
