Default Shocky wing position problem?

Ey guys....a tiny problem i'm sure and well no big deal to fix but I thought I should check with you guys quickly what would be my best bet. Ok I'm building a spare shocky and in this case the Superstar. In the instructions they state that the wings of the superstar and the extra should be 15mm forward of the slot in the horizontal fuz half. The edge is shown to be only 5 right? Ok well I measured the whole thing out and when adding the bottom fuz it doesn't line up correctly at all. The fuz sticks out 5mm in front of the horizontal fuz and obviously the top back piece of the fuz doesn't line up either. Now i'm not sure if it will be better to glue the wing in the position they want it and then to just modify the slots and tabs of the bottom fuz to get it in the right place? Or should I rather move the wing back? i'm sure I messed up somewhere but I can't put my finger on it. Logic tells me to rather glue the wing where they said I should and then just cut 5mm off the tabs involved and well the slots involved. No big deal to do that and will only take me a minute. But moving the wing back could affect alot of things obviously?

I know these things are not too sensitive to dimensions at all but maybe someone has had this problem and can give me quick and easy go with what answer? []
