Default Need help with TF P-47 build

I just started building the fuse on my TF P-47 (60 size). I'm at the part for fitting the horizontal stab to the fuse. I've run into two problems. First, the stab doesn't fit well into the saddle. The instuctions tell not to sand the saddle because of the angle of incidence. The stab tends to see-saw a little in the saddle. If I sand the middle out a little would that be OK? Second, I sanded a little too much around the front part of the saddle causing a gap between the fuse and the stab. A little too big for filler. Should I fill it with balsa and re-sand or have I destroyed this model? I'll have pictures on Sunday when I get back home. Thanks in advance.
