Hi mushroomgod - here is an example with the file you posted:

Using your same side surfaces, but build a sweep that is a flat piece instead of trying to make it rounded at the corners:



Then use Fillet to produce the final rounded areas:




You may want to use the Shape: G2 Blend option in fillet to put a more flexible blend in there instead of a circular arc.
