That being said how do I fix this?
Do I slowly sand down that section of the top or do I try and thickness the fretboard down where it is hitting and leave the top alone?

Ok I wanted to follow up on this in case a "newer builder" was following the thread.
In short there was a gap between the fretboard and soundboard because the neck wouldn't sit back far enough into the dove tail. Although the build in CURRENTLY working on isn't a dovetail joint I had the SAME issue when trying to dry fit the neck! So.... I scratched my head and realized the obvious.
The back of the male joint was simply too long not allowing the neck to slip back far enough. By sanding some of that down it was able to fall into a more acceptable area in the joint. Thus almost eliminating the gap...
Hope this is the correct fix and that the experience helps someone out
