Marlein,

    You could solder an insert inside the bottom of the bezel, leaving a
    small amount of the bezel protruding below the insert. Then place
    the bezel on the textured piece and carefully mark all of the high
    points of the textured background on the bottom edge of the bezel.
    Then carefully file the bottom edge of the bezel at those points,
    thus allowing the bezel to conform to the textured surface. Then
    solder. This is probably a fair amount of work to do but it should
    work. 

    Let us know how it turns out.
