Flap track weakness?

Is it just me or do others perceive a weakness in the flap track mounting design on the -15?
It seems to me that there will be a large stress on the lower corner of the thin cove rib radius.
I’m no engineer but my 50 years of seeing cracks tells me this is a possible suspect area. Any input from the experts?
