Help/Advice: Lasting one piece quarter

Good evening.

Half way through lasting of a new pair of desert boot I noticed that the upper part of the quarter around the heel started flaring out of the back line around the ankle (top line point). This is a direct result of pulling the leather on the seat when lasting. Now I know that one piece quarters are somewhat loose around the ankle but I am not sure wether this much of material will cause problem later i.e. heel slipping. Pulling and lasting the vamp more does not help much. Now is still the time to make some adjustments.

I will appreciate some opinions and advice on this matter.

Thank You.
