Top band alignment question

[Pleater]

I suspect that even if you tried, the pleats will not align - assuming it is pleated to the sett as you have the question in the first place, the fell is most likely correct for the sett at hip level on the pleats but narrows into the waist, so attempting to line it up would actually show that disparity very clearly.

Hopefully you can get an exact match across the front apron and then allow the sett to fall as it may around the rest of the kilt is probably going to be the simplest solution.
