Or am I missing the point entirely?

You are not missing the point at all, they will be butted up against one another. The existing canopy will be modified to butt up against the new one and then use trim to cover up any inconsistencies. My current canopy is nothing special like yours and is only around 6" high.
So here is what I have:
Corner - Closed
Corner-Open
As you can see the supports are there to keep it on the tank. The Actual canopy extends further down. This piece would just be modified to sit on the top of the 90 gallon. instead of going down the side of the 135. The top would have its trim removed around the edge so it would sit flush as well, it is just a piece of molding. (Hate the paint, previous owner did that. Don't you love the plants that my fish ripped out just for this picture!
)
Full shot-closed
This is just a shot of it closed.
Full Shot-open
And one of the whole thing opened
