Advice needed - filling small gap around splash guard

I recently installed rear splash guards and the passenger side fit perfectly snug, but there is a small gap on the drivers side as you can see in the photo. I want to fill the gap with something and then touch up the paint on the filler.

With the splash guard being plastic (flexing, expanding with temp, etc..), does anyone have any recommendations as to a filler? I'm not sure if I should be using bondo, a paintable exterior caulking, some type of epoxy, etc....

Obviously I've never tried something like this before.....

Thanks

Are they OEM? That side should fit like the other, might want to check with whatever source you bought them from.

Personally i would just leave it be, your the only one that will really notice it. You start using fillers, epoxy, etc....the weather up north, salt on the road, etc, etc.....it will look ghetto fabbed by the end of December and look even worse.
