Need help with RV4 flap push rod

The path of the push rod appears it will slot the vertical side skin as well as the floor skin. this will notch that fuse surface corner. I am concerned about compromising the load carrying of this corner. If you have any pics of how you did it, they would be appreciated.

Yes, side skin needs a cut-away

The virtual horizontal axis of the rod end that bolts into the end of the flap rises up higher than the bottom skin. No other way to get full retraction except to cut a small notch. I can email a photo of my 4 build (?). I found a side view of the fuse without the wings installed.
