Brian Hi!
Here are my questions.

I guess it's probably not acceptable but I had same problem. More on Port
and Starboard Wing/Aileron. Probably me!

I trimmed about 1/4" off Starboard but nearer 1/2" on Port and then used
Glass paper around lead edge of Aileron and sanded back to smooth unhindered
movement. It looks OK and works OK now. The actual alignment difference
between Flap and Aileron skin T/E is 3/8" Port - 5/8" Starboard.

I bonded on Wing top skin without taking these consequences into account.
Neville will have a definite answer so maybe ask before going further.
BTW it's a UK Holiday on Monday! Yes again!
Regarding Mass balance slot alignment. Mine was the same as yours and I
realigned by moving and reshaping 'Boxes' and all again lines up.
It's that 'Europa Factor' built into Manual to personalise all our
