How Do I Get A Fbct Flush W/ The Rest Of The Frosting Layer?

Hi all,
I have read and watched videos but maybe I am missing it and someone can help.
I am doing a cake this weekend for a friend and plan to do the basketball Final Four symbol in a FBCT. My concern is when I have done FBCTs in the past they never fall flush with the layer of buttercream on the top of the cake. I once tried putting the FBCT on first, then frosting around it and that didn't work at all.
I do the design and cover it all with a thin layer that is the color of the cake covering so that it blends in. That is correct, isn't it?
Any thoughts? Anyone who can share how they do it or any insights in to what I am doing wrong?
I really appreciate any help.
A frozen buttercream transfer isn't meant to be flush with the surface of the icing. If you want it flat I would say that you would have to do the transfer and then add enough icing around the outside of the transfer so that is it as big as the surface of your cake. That's doesn't sound too feasible because it could be quite large depending upon the size of your cake.

It's not? Wow...my thinking of it has been quite off then!
I did it once where I really wanted it flush - so I did it the size of the whole top of my cake - then I just put a crumb coat on the top, put on the fbct - and iced the sides then. No other way that I know of.
