Default Phoenix Sonic 25 - Wing/Stab Alignment

I know this area is for kits, but I thought someone in the building area would have a better response. I have the subject ARF and it's my first low wing/bolt on type plane. The problem is the wing dowels/bolt holes are already installed and they are very tight fitting (good?), thus the wing will not wiggle in the fuse, at all. I started to install the stab and measured off the wing TE (not the alieron) to get it aligned, then I checked the measurements on the LE/TE of the stab and it was off about 1/4" (?) .... just to check, I moved the stab so the LE/TE measurements were equal and measured to the point where the wing/fuse meet, it was on. Next I checked the distance from the fuse tail to the wing TE, it was off. I then pulled out a 2' square, as you might guess, the wing was not square to the fuse.

What should I do???
