Default Removing Gauge overlay

i have macawen white gauge overlays and i put them on just a tiny tad bit crooked (rookie mistake) and it as annoying me to death. Is there any way i can remove it? I'll just order a new overlay if I have to, but i dont want to have to get a whole new cluster. i tried peeling it off but the thing would not budge

These overlays suck and start to come loose when they get warm. Mine would always come lose and sag in the summer until i removed them and super glued them on. I'd try heat and then i always would remove the overlay with a butter knife.
