Life is like a box of chocolates
Ordered a Stewmac nut seating file, hopefully that helps me flatten any imperfections in the nut seating slot. I really want that perfect fit ![Squinting face with tongue :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: 😝](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61d.png)

I will repeat myself but the only question is: are the string length and the respective fret positions correct for the instrument to play in tune? If yes, then don't mess with it and live with the micro gap it won't do a thing. Unless you really know what you are doing, chances are you will mess up the nut slot by trying to fill/sand when the frets are already in.Any ideas how make the slot 90 degrees to get a perfect fit?

But if you really want an answer: to do it cleanly I would need to first see what is actually good (bottom of the slot parallel to fretboard, or fretboard side perpendicular to the fretboard), and fix the bad part by sanding it flat, gluing in a piece of wood, and reshaping said peace of wood hopefully better than what it was.
