I think I would be tempted to sand a slight radius on the corner, fill
any remaining gaps, sand smooth, and then paint it with gloss white enamel.

As one side appears to be a clean cut and if the other end of the roughly
cut piece
is against the wall you could remove the bad piece and sand paper off 3 or
4mm maintaining the angle.
There would be a gap between the end and the wall but could then be filled
more unobtrusively.

Arthur, please put your PC clock right!
