David - no, don't do that!

>to fit over the arms

Yes, they need to be moved to line up properly with the horns, but 
don't reduce the size of the horn-box flanges - those are structural 
items. Instead, carefully remove the inner skin and brown foam as 
necessary to clear the flange in its correct position WRT the horn. 
Then put a BID patch over the re-worked area, extending it at least 
an inch beyond all round. Refer to my building journal of 2003 05 08 
& 2003 05 09 for my own experience of this. Neville may have already 
repeated his advice to me by the time my reply is posted.

regards

Rowland
