Flap trailing edge bowed resolution question

Hi,

I have a bow in the trailing edge that is 3/64 at max in the center of the flap and goes to 0 about a foot in on either end.

The trailing edge is bonded with 3M VHB and took this shape almost immediately after clecoing and weighting on a straight edge.

Can I impact this shape by riveting in a particular way? Perhaps a concept similar to fluting - All manufactured heads on the inside of the bow?

Anybody observe a similar effect that might be helpful?

Thanks
