Default Different side or down thrust angles

Hi Folks
Quick question for all you hardened Aerobatic flyers.
I am new to this and I am in the process of trimming an airplane. According to the test ( ie the pull straight up vertical and see which way the plane deviates ) the plane I am working with needs more right thrust than the plane was originally built for. If I increase the side thrust it will leave an unsightly gap.
My question is what do people do about this.
Do they just ignore it
or do they modify the nose of the plane once the correct right thrust has been achieved so that the airplanes clean lines are restored.

Mike
