I think that's aligned correctly (we'll soon find out if I'm wrong:) ) it just looks odd as the wing isn't fitted. The wing edge will allign with the bonnet edge. Eg it will be higher than the inner wing Also the hockey stick will line up with the chrome piece and hide the unslghtly edge.

the sides of the bonnet will come in a little more
