I am not super savvy in photoshop and use Lightroom for 95% of adjustments. I recenltly purchased some photoshop overlays for sunbeams. However, when I apply them, the perimeter of the overlay is so obvious. What can I do to disolve the perimeter of the overlay?

You would want to create a mask. Then add gradient G for gradient.
Choose the linear Gradient to create a smooth transition.
