You should eliminate the gap by sanding inside the curve of the stem as needed to create the fit. I had the same issue with mine. It’s important to get the right fit for planking the bow into the rabbet and the only way to do that is reduce inside of the stem. No way to force it.
You’ll want to taper the stem as well, I recall Chuck explains that in the monograph. And that is an extra part.
