I'm sure I am opening a can of worms here, but what's wrong with rubber for
this seal?

My car had the tattered and fragmented remains of what was apparently once a
rubber seal there (looked original, but who knows).  I used the bits and
pieces as a template to cut a new seal out of an old innertube - worked just
fine and keeps the housing from rubbing or rattling around.
FWIW I made a seal for the lens the same way - except there was no seal
there whatsoever on my car.
