Don't worry about the cells...that is how our Lipos sit too.
On the battery pack configuration....I always used to use the Trinity stick pack kit. Others use a flat tip on their soldering irons and do what you described...get the cells close and heat and push together.

Don't worry about it?
Also, I built my stick battery w/ the cells sitting side by side (batt bars) instead of end to end... I want to change it over, do ya' just heat up the solder and quickly "butt" the next cell up to it before it cools?
