I'm working on a neck from an AG-1 kit and am having some issues with the nut. More specifically, the wood where the nut goes. If I place it flat against the maple, there's a gap between the nut and fretboard. Then if I push it up against the fretboard, there's a gap on the bottom.

I believe I need to make the corner between the fretboard and the neck more of a 90 degree angle, but how? Another worry I have is that the frets are tall, jumbo size, and I don't think I can lower the nut much more without issues with string buzzing.
Thoughts? Advice?
