All four photos all appear to be the same image Confused

It appears that you've not properly installed the metal leading edge sections which appear to be out of alignment and also out of alignment with the leading edge to the right, which in turn will create fit problems with the skin panels.

Try to carefully remove and refit the leading edge, because if you try and remove the skin panel it will end up as scrap and will have to replace the panel, though Stage 79 contains a couple of spare skin sheets which you can cut a replacement from by following the paper template outline of the removed skin panel.

Defo painting it so any gaps will fill with filler as plates are apoxyed down will ruin the whole wing

I suppose you could look at that way, but your going to find that many of the panels won't align and will have gaps or will have to re-shape many to make them fit.
