The shapes might be correct, but you need them in a fine FILE pattern (not a rasp).

P.S. - Are you trying to recontour/recut the edges? Or are you trying to remove errant file marks?

To remove file marks, I'd say go slowly at first - use sand paper. Files, even fine files, remove metal. They cut. It is all too easy to remove too much metal from a thin walled lug. Then what? Take your time.

You can always take more off but it is very hard to put it back on.
