Cut the chairs off the sleeper on the plain track and move the freed sleeper under the rail joiners. Then try cutting the web underneath the plain track and respace the sleepers to make as many as possible fit in between the sleepers of the adjacent track. In the last resort shorten the sleepers on the plain track. Carefully removing the knob on the ends of the tie bars improves the look too.

If its just theevery end of the tie bar with the point motor peg on it that is causing the problem chopping that off is a lot simpler and will not affect the working of the point; indeed I have seen a number of layouts where all the tie bars have shortened at both ends to make the point look slightly more like the real thing,
