Narrative:

We were taxiing into the gate around the ramp area. Once we come to gate we could not park because we have to make very sharp turn. We decided to make a 360 turn come back and try again. We did this and parked at the gate. After arrival maintenance came to the plane inform me we had run over blue taxi light and we had one tire flat and one tire had damage. It was dark and raining to help us we would like to have better lights and better parking markings to the gate and ramp area.
