How can close a gap between two lofts?

I built the two lateral lofts in the picture and I need to fill the gap in between. By definition of the design, I have to have this "triangular" surface between the lofts.
I tried with loft and fill tools, but I was not able to fill it up. I am new to OnShape, but I have a few years with ProE, but for these tools they are a bit different.
Can someone help me please?

    Hello @ricardo_raimundo. Can you share your document as public for us to see? Thanks!

    John, I appreciate your response, but I changed that document so much that I don't have anything even near to it anymore. What I am trying to do now, is to build the part in three or four parts and and join them using the boolean tool or assemble then in one piece. This is a wing tip for a radio controlled airplane. What I have done so far is in this link: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/a03f2d9e02f3e3b7a3b662c1/w/c8d83cb759eff9ef07f34fba/e/03088f4202865ea57572b33e

    @ricardo_raimondo It looks like many of your curves aren't constrained to one another. You'll want to edit your sketches and use a lot of pierce constraints to make them touch. Another tip (pun intended 🥁) is that you can select a single vertex as a loft profile so you can make it come to a point.

    Evan, thank you for your response. I am learning this constrains between different sketches the hard way. Also, thank you for the tip about using a vertex as a loft profile. That, I would never figure it out.
