Default Gap above external window fascia - fill or not bother?

I'm boarding the inside of a window but noticed a gap at the top where
there's a fascia panel attached to the window frame but not the building.

Given it would be a faff to fill and it's in the rebate i'm wondering
whether to bother, the only issue I can see is it's letting air into the
cavity, which is no real bad thing?

Did someone get their window measurements wrong ?.
Normally you allow 5mm tolerance all round.

Personally I would have raised the cill up with cut
bricks or blocks and fitted the window flush up against
the lintel.

I'd be more concerned with that horizontal crack.
