Default Tech Question: ARF Build, 3D Plane

I am assembling a 40 size Hangar 9 Twist. While the horizontal stab is centered in the fuselage, the measurement between the wings outside rear edge and the horizontal stabs out side rear edge is off by 3/8 inch from one side to the other. The fuselage is the problem, it's not quite straight. I've checked the distance from fuselage to out side wing edge on both sides, it is the same. The problem is the fuselage appears to be slightly bowed.

OK, now for my question.

Measuring this distance squares the horizontal stab to the wing.

Would it be preferred:

A) to square the horizontal stab to the wing?
B) to square the horizontal stab to the fuselage?
C) to split the difference between the two?


Thanks
