sheer clamp question/CLC Chesapeake 17

Need advice..... I am building CLC's Chesapeake 17 in Orlando, Fl. CLC provided an adenda to the plans that showed the sheer clamps flush with the edges of the side panel. After gluing the sheer clamps I reviewed the construction booklet only to discover that those instructions indicated that the sheer clamp should have a 1/4 inch overlap in relation to the side panel. CLC says that this should present no problem with further construction. I am quite pleased with CLC's kit and attention to my questions, but I would like some second and third opinions before I proceed. Thanks,

Jim Philips Orlando, Fl
