Default Plasterers Trowel corners modification?

I'm skimming my first ceiling
but some places the trowel leaves marks at the edges.

Its an old victorian ceiling that I undercovered with kingspan and plasterboard and isnt perfectly straight in any dimension, so when i use the trowel to smooth an area which dips in the ends of the trowel dig in and make grooves.

Is a solution to file off the corners of the trowel?
If so how should I do this and to what shape?
Any advice please ...

George
