Default F6f Wing saddle

I am the guy that ended up with the Hellcat from Toledo that I picked up from my friend, the total problem isn't at the leading and trailing Edge as you see in the photo it's how the wing sets in the wing saddle, you've got 1/8 inch gap on the right-hand trailing Edge and the same on the left hand Leading Edge. The only way the wing will set halfway level in the Wing saddle is if you shift it to the left a quarter of an inch. No matter what I have tried the wing will not sit down in the saddle properly. With the result I received from Horizon basically no help at all unless I want to buy new parts out of my own pocket somehow I will figure out how to make this work. I would have liked to have thought that a kid of this caliber could be free of this kind of problem, I understand it's a production run but there is such a thing as quality control and taking care of the customer
