We would like to get the loop closed on so that we can finalize our inspection.

During a previous inspection, a different inspector had signed off on all the overhead steel but did not document the inspection in a report. During the following inspection, a separate inspector noted the issue with the slotted holes after the roofing was complete. The condition was able to be fixed on the East side, but the edge angle is inaccessible without tearing 3 out roofing on the West side. Please advise if the current condition of the edge angle on the West side is acceptable or if roofing will need to be pulled back to fix this item.  On sheet S5.02/234 the angle connecting the column to the panel embed shows to be bolted to the column. The hole location in the column provided by the manufacturer was incorrect. To remedy this, the erector welded the angle to the column in lieu of bolting. Please advise if this is acceptable.
