Gap—door—stretched sprues to fill? Also: slight curves from putty fill.

I just wonder how come, it is really so off .... :hmm:

stretched sprues to fill can be an option or some suitabe sized evergreen styrene ?

The reason for the gap is the interior structure—particularly the part outlined in red—is pushing up the door sill as well. I need to grind that red area down a bit.
