Having a hard time fluting RV-10 seat ribs

Read seat ribs are giving me a hard time while trying to flute and straighten them out. It?s a real pain where the bend/gap is its flips pack and forth. Fluting has done nothing and trying to bend it has help yet. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
 
May not need any. I'm having a hard time remembering, but it seems like it's a fairly flat area of the belly.
Have you tried cleco'ing the ribs to the pilot holes in the belly skin? If the holes all line up, then you're good.
 
The holes all match up with the skin. It?s the top of the ribs that will not line up straight except with just a little pressure. Not much The can easily be cleco and made straight. Just want it straight darn it😆😆
