Same here with my first two grows. Post picks.
The clones I've had often start off asymmetrical re branch arrangement, and balance out over time. So you need to determine how that pattern will evolve over time.
I find it easier to FIM than top for that reason. I've done both and FIM gives me much more benefits. Harder to do right, but worth learning the skills.
I use a rounded, sharpened #11 Exacto blace and scoop out the offending bits under 10X magnification.
Lots of good info on GWE about how to do it.
Good luck.
