The hinge screws go through into L-shaped brackets mounted on the floor of the tailgate and sticking upwards, so the skin will tend to pull in to the surface of the bracket.
Re-skinning a tailgate is a bit of an art, and bascially involves repairing the frame and matching it to the truck and then skinning it - biggest problem is usually matching top outer edge of tailgate and lower inner edge of liftgate.
