Did anyone else break a baffle plate in the gas tank?!?

I don't know what part of the gas tank, phunk can probably give you a better answer on it. Basically a few years back, I started hearing clunking noise inside the gas tank. The noise would appear whenever I roll at a slow speed to a hard stop or start. It was replaced under warranty by Nissan. Fast forward another 3 years, I believe I am experiencing the same thing again. I just want to see what solutions are available. I am not comfortable dropping $1500 to replace a gas tank, especially if I know it will break again in 3 years.

Pictures from inside the tank.

1st pic. Right side looking left. The front of the tank is on the right.
2nd pic. Left side looking right. The front of the tank is on the left.
3rd pic. The baffle that has to be bent for the RRP. The front of the tank is on the left.
4th pic. The bent baffle. You can see the siphon tube on the left. Between the baffle and the front tank wall.
