you're going to need to provide more details, where exactly does it "not fit?" does something not line up, is the cluster overlay too big? small?

well, im no gauge cluster expert, but im pretty sure you have to take the oem one out first
you probably already know that, but you said "too wide to fit inside of the stock one"
sounds like you are just trying to stick it in there

I'm guessing that's the issue too, I can't see the pic, is it one of the deep channeled ones? Cuz I know mine just connected right to the guage cover

it might go inside the glass, because the bend on the glass on the accord is different from the cl glass.
but anyways, where did you get this from? i really want one.
