It is very unlikely there is any issue here or anything to fix.

Most likely the price gapped by a certain amount and then the Stop order filled at no worse than 1 tick away from its price because it was a resting order. Please refer to:

And to say a little variation in the drawdown or runup by one or 2 ticks, which can have various causes, makes it inaccurate or not useful, is not really valid because there are various reasons for this, and it is a small amount.
