Default Wing problem, i need some input before first flight***

alright.. heres the deal.. i am building a Sig Extra 300XS 1/4 scale model.. after a few beers i seemed to had made a mistake when putting the wings together i glued the Wing joiner in upside down..

well.. on the top part of the wing there is a gap.. and the spar is not completely touching.. i filled the gap with epoxy to help strengthen the wings.. anyhow, the wing has a little trouble being fit onto the fuse, but nothing that can't be corrected.

well my question here is will this adversely affect the flying performance of the aircraft.. since the wing joiner is made to angle the wings up a bit.. now it is more or less.. straight.. i would be more then happy to buy a replacement wing if i could but don't think sig sells them..

what should i do? and do you think the flying will be fine.. also, how dramatically will this weaken the wing?
