Default Bobcat Question

I am to the point where I am putting everything together. No matter how careful I was trying to be when constructing the wing, there is some misalignment with my booms - I have to pull them together to contact the stab. The plans say that I can use 1/4" balsa to widen the stab to solve this exact problem.
How common is this? And how bad is it to use those balsa spacers? Should I try to do something with alignment first to get it closer or should I not worry about it? I am uncertain as to what kind of effect all this has on flying characteristics. I would imagine if it's still symmetric, it should only be a tad slower - that's all.
