HS-905 Nose Rib Fluting

I'm currently fluting the ribs in preparation for final assembly of the horizontal stabilizer. The only ribs I can't figure out how to flute are the nose ribs. There's only really one place that I can significantly flute near the aft portion and it gets the holes almost lined up, but just not enough. I've tried fluting closer to the front, however this leads to the flange bending outwards, so I have to un bend it to a point that it doesn't really make a difference.

I'm not sure if I should try to align the holes better, or if I should call them good enough and build on. Thanks!

Had the same issue. Kept building. There is no way to flute enough to get into same alignment.
