Just a suggestion, but if it was me, I'd try for this....

Shave off the
RED boxed portion a little to form the cape more rectangular. And then stitch in some tan/beige thread where you see the
TAN/BEIGE Box as per the 501st' reference pic. If you're looking to add that little plastic piece, make sure to include holes for that, that I've marked out in
GREEN circles too. I'm not to sure anything can be done about the brass grommet, you could try to carefully remove it. It'd add that additiona damage to the cape. But to me it would be considered an eye sore.
