You are lining up the top left corner of the plane, don't worry about lining up the wings exactly

Fold Down the Edge of the Wing Until the Bottom Part of the Wing Hangs Slightly Below the Bottom of the Plane.

Put a Slight Bend in the Back Outside Corner on Both Wings for Some Extra Lift. But Be Sure Not to Create a Crease in the Paper.
