Riveted the C-762 and C-763 parts together

After riveting the C-762 and C-763 parts together, I noticed that when I tried to pull the C-762 flat strip down to fit the contour of the C-763 spacer, that a gap formed between the part, as shown by the green arrow in the picture. DAMMIT! So I added one more rivet to close the gap. On my next RV (he-he), I will pre-bend the C-762 to fit the angle of the C-763 spacer bar. ALSO, I went ahead and drilled the holes for the screws and I probably shouldn't have. I read later that the position of the slider bar on the back of the fuselage might need to move around when positioning the inside canopy bars to make it fit and move correctly over the slider bar. Hopefully this won't bite me in the ass later.
