Default Wing out of line

Hi my issues or confusions are as follows: I have a Chris's foss 5E glider , with the aircraft assembled, looking down the aircraft from nose down, the wing incidents to the elevators are not square
...off by 3mm avg ...so I guess this was a manufacturing default,so I balanced this out with tape on one side of the wing . So now the elevator and wing are horizontal to each other ...My thinking is that the aircraft would not drift left/ right ?...In doing this I found that the elevator setting is now 70% down ..but have good down nose
CG ....do I still require that offset incident that I have mentioned in the above ???
TIA
