Snowplow Wings not lining up and have gap?

I am trying to learn how to design a set of wings for a snow plow on CAD for a future project and I can't get the plow wing to line up with the edge of the plow smoothly without a gap. Below I have included both pictures and a URL for my design, I have also included a photo and URL to another design that I would like my finished plow wing to look like. Any help is much appreciated and if any additional information is needed just let me know.
My model URL:https://cad.onshape.com/documents/96229f2ec699ae6a8c297107/w/cd5292874db2d7f919f397b3/e/9e035f67bde4ba9b8907fb3d
Below are the photos showing the current problem that I am facing. The plow wing is the smaller grey part, the plow is the bigger light blue part.
Below Is a Photo and URL to the CAD design that I would like my finished plow wing to look like. As seen in the photo the wing and plow connect smoothly with no gaps.

You're looking for the plow to be cut square then fit the wing? If that's right then let me know and I'll see what i can come up with. Also, Does the wing have to have the same profile? If not, then fit will be easy to fit.
Yeah, I'm looking for the plow to be cut square and then fit the wing. And for the profile of the wing, it doesn't have to be the exact same. let me know what you come up with and what I can do.
Thanks, Bryce

Thank you so much for all the help.
Oh, one final question how do you do a projected sketch?
