Hi Cal,
I've just been looking at your problem and your latest picture posted today.
I am a newbie to this hobby so am not very experienced at this. However, I would like to offer a suggestion although there is every chance it may be totally wrong.
From just looking at that picture it looks to me as if the last frame - frame 31 (the one with all the horizontal cut-outs for fitting the gallery supports)was accidentally fitted mis-aligned and out of square.
If this is indeed the case, I believe the only way it can be rectified is a partial stripping of the planks at the stern end, removing it, and re-fitting it squarely.
As I said, I'm most likely wrong on this but it's something to look at as everything else looks relatively square compared to the line of the keel in the photo.
Hope this is helpful to you and empathise with your problem and hope you can find a way to get it sorted. there are lots of more experienced modelers on here who can probably cast a more knowledgeable eye than mine and offer better advice than me.
Happy building
David

Daffy is bang on the money.your going to have to remove the last frame as you can see its out of line with the rest of them it looks like the right side hasn't been pushed down far enough.i would cut back the planking on that frame and realign it.you can then replace the planking and sand it down you will never notice it.
