Default Distributor outer cap gaskets on dome distributors

What am I missing here? Does anyone make or sell a CORRECT gasket for the outer caps on dome style distributors? I'm asking about 39 distributor specifically.

I cannot get one to even come close to fitting without cutting it and spreading it out, thus increasing the circumference of the gasket. Also, I have to cut out a notch on the inner circumference of the gasket to accommodate the little tab that aligns the cap and the notch in the distributor body. This CAN'T be right.

I have tried several different vendors and they all sell the same thing. It's blowing my weak mind.
