    Hi Amid, what Scott said.
    The second batch of photos you posted you have improved the fit, just needs a bit more sanding so all the faces are flush, including bottom of the neck pocket.
    Maybe you need to sand it with a lower grit paper and remove a bit more excess under the fingerboard. Work out which places are causing the gaps and sand those areas.
    Do a trial fit fairly regularly so you don't oversand.

    Once the heel fits flush you can do a mock build as Scott suggests to check what the string action will be.

    These kits have about a 4 degree neck angle to compensate for the high TOM bridges

    Well after 2 more hours of trying to adjust i m getting better on the angle but way worst on the fitting. I still don t know if i should sand more or not... Considering i will change the nut because i don t have lumberjack fingers, the cords will get closer to the board.
    Probably will have to veneer the sides of the pocket. If i have vener the bottom i m scared to have to adjust the height again :/
    Would have loved a plug and play neck because it s the only thing i really don t feel confortable with
