Default Fliton Inspire 60 Elevator Problem!!

Currently building a Fliton Inspire 60. However, there is a problem with the elevators. When they are mounted to the Horizontal Stab one of them droops about a half inch lower than the other!! I am not using the dowel. I tried to use the CA hinges and once I saw the difference I cut them out and replaced them with Robart Hinge Points. No difference. Same exact droop.

The Horizonal Stab is level, the hinge holes/slots were centered. If I raise one elevator and lower the other I can get the training edges to be level. However, then the leading edges of the elevator do not line up with the horizontal stab. The droopy elevator is not even close.

Has anyone else seen this in the kit?? It seems liek one elevator was just not built straight. I don't have any idea what to do to fix this (besides call Fliton for new elevators and figuring out how to remove the hinge pins!!)

Thanks for any help.
