Super easy fix. I'll get a slightly shifted scale or bolster when screwed down. I'm not about to toss it or remake either handle material unless it is REALLY BAD. Handle scales IME don't do well with epoxy blends because they show.

Grind the bolster from the frame/bottom side down. The reduction in height pulls the dovetail down proportional to the gap without altering your pivot or mounting hole locations. Now if there is significant gap then the amount taken off will not line up so you'll have to adjust the other bolster or handle scale to match.
