Aileron skins short?

G'day 9ers,

I have just clecoed a bottom aileron skin to the rib/spar assembly and while the skin is flush with the rib flange at the inboard end, it is short at the other end so the rib flange protrudes. Looks a bit odd. Is this normal?

Mine was exactly the same.... Was told to just file off the overhanging skin on the oppisite side and could file some of the flange to match... When all was sad and done was not a big deal... just felt it should have matched out of the box.
