Hi Vernon,
I'd do a little bit of everything... sand down the inside of the joggle, build up the rail with flox and feather back in to meet the door. I my case, I built up with flox and micro to meet the window, overlapped the window with glass tape and transitioned back in to the door (pic attathed).

Is this area going to built up to make it flush when the windows get installed? Or should I sand down and rebuild the lip to push the window into the fuselage more?

I know of one instance in which the wrong windows were shipped from the Van's supplier. They were too thick.
The more common reason is the there is a flat spot on the canopy near the window. While not a 100% sure, I think they all come this way. Check that curve with you door on. You may find that you have to build up you canopy which may also resolve you window problem.
Another metric to check is to see if the relief area around the window perimeter is a constant depth.
Are both windows the same?

That looks pretty normal. The joggle isn't quite deep enough. You
can build it up to be flush with the window. I recall seeing that a
few times before.

I measure the thickness of the window all the way around.... it varied by quite a bit. So I sent it back to Van's and they sent me another one... much better.... but as everyone has told you, do a little bit of everything.... especially glassing around the window... it will keep the paint from cracking later.... hopefully.
