I drilled each side individually. Drilled one side, flipped and drilled the other

I’d appreciate any ideas from yall on how to fix this (or just leave it be)
I’m just confused how this happened. I’m just gonna return my dremel press and go back to the drill and vice. But, I’ve already drilled these two frames and can’t go back.

You can close the holes and re-drill.
I would sand the top of the housing as recommends and see if you can make it work. If not, your other option would be to fill and redrill.
Oof. Closing the hole and redrilling is a last last resort

To me.... it's the first resort if the problem is the pin holes. IMO, the quality and functionality of a P80 build begins and ends with the accuracy of the pin holes.
I've never had to re-drill, but if I was having a problem fitting the parts to the frame, that's the first place I'd look.
Sacrifice the trigger housing if needed or get one made for the P80 as it may sit a bit lower and won't interfere with the slide. The last thing I would do is redrill the holes but that's me. As Racer said, drilling the holes right is very important to do correctly the first time but that opportunity was missed. I think you have been given the options to correct, choose one and let us know how it goes.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but the rear rails will determine if the slide is too low on the trigger housing or too high away from it as well as relationship to the frame. The rear rails may be the entire problem here.
Only if everything is in spec. Aftermarket housings can and do vary in dimensions as can the frames which was probably made for P80 components which are slightly different than Glock components and that could cause issues. This one looks like the left side hole is drilled wrong, so it is canting the rails and housing.
