Flaps leading edge.

I notice after initial fitting of leading edge of flap that there is a gap between the skin and leading edge ribs. If I set the rivets there I reckon it will pucker the skin.
I'm thinking if I put it on a flat surface and push down reducing the radius of the leading edge this may close the gap when refitted.
Anyone have same issue and was able to sort this?
Thanks
 
Bit embarrassing as the answer to my question was - don't be over zealous with the crimping pliers when removing the pucker in the top undrilled flange of the leading edge ribs.
They reckon when you start answering your own questions it's a sign of madness, they could be right! :)
