Check your part #'s, I'm about 1/2 way done from bow, I don't think any were short. All moderately long.
make sure your deck beams are fit/spaced properly.

Bi more further information on my struggles building the kit
As you know Gun Ports are part of the frame with top and bottom sills
The Planking needs to be cut about a mm short of the port all round so the Lids can fit in to form a seal
This is impossible if you fit the planking and then cut the ports
There are no Lids provided
Step 118 does "Show" this
I must admit i am struggling
