Looks pretty similar to how mine was before I kept trimming. I did much of the fitting without the wooden spacer attached to avoid being misled by the pressure it can apply to the cowl, making the fit seem different than reality. Without the spacer, you can see how an angled cut will move the propeller opening up or down, left or right. I expect you'll be able to remove at least an inch off the bottom before you finish.
Also, I think adding baffles and the seals tends to apply pressure that moves the propeller opening forward. I thought I had a good gap, but ended up having very little gap once finished. I wouldn't worry too much about erring on the side of a little too much gap for this reason.
