Flaps trailing edge not aligned with skin

Section 21, page 5, I'm fabricating the trailing edge pieces for the left flap. This here is the short section of trailing edge clecoed to FL-00002B. I know this is the correct side of the correct edge of this skin because I counted the holes and compared to the diagram.

But something isn't right. The trailing edge wedge isn't flush with the edge of the skin, it sticks out past the skin by about 3/64". This is a picture from the other side of the skin from directly above, and you can see the wedge sticking out behind it.

What did I get wrong?
 
Mine was like that. I assumed that was how it was supposed to be, put a slight break on the skin on both sides and riveted it together!
