Default I need help on a scratch wing I'm doing

As you can see, in order for my custom landing gear plate to span the spars, an edge of the wood is above the airfoil, do I just grind that side down? Or is there a better solution, maybe recess the plate further in the wing? The right side is level with where about the sheeting glass and paint will take it. There is a base plate, and then the breakaway plate has gear attached to it, and that break plate is screwed to the base plate which will stay mounted in the wing.

I'm open to all comments and or ideas here. The breakaway plate will eventually be carbon fiber plate.
