It almost looks like the sink flange is warped and can't sit flat in the sink. Is this a replacement item or for simplicity and desperation, will a bead of silicone stand a chance at seling this?

Tippsy, It's not likely that silicone sealer will solve the problem, Maybe temporarily. Yes, individual parts are available : Part number: AP2037689 Part number: AP2037569 Part number: AP2037567 Part number: AP2037606 Since you've had this issue, since the beginning, if you have a Stainless Steel sink, you may want to check the sink flange, for damage or distress, once you've got the disposer out. Good Luck, :) :) :)
