Wingtip trailing edge

Working on getting the trailing edge of my wingtip to match my aileron. I split the end of the wingtip and the outer edge up about 4 inches. Heated the top surface and was able to get the top to match the aileron. However I could not get the lower portion of the wingtip to move enough so it pulls on the upper surface (edge) and the gap is still about ½ inch between the aileron and trailing edge tip. Should I consider cutting the lower part of the wing, making a new form to get everything to match my aileron? Suggestions please.

+1 to what Carl is saying. In IMG_5865 and IMG_5854 it looks like the trailing edge of the flap and aileron are not on the same line. the aileron looks like it tilts up slightly the farther outboard when tracing a line with the trailing edge of the flap
