They're meeting at an angle. You are getting a smooth transition at the very bottom-right of the shapes, because that's where the absolute ends of the gradients are meeting. If you want it completely smooth, your gradients need to end at or before the point where the shapes meet (the top-left of the transition point).

What do you mean when you say the slider didn't work? You can't adjust the gradient?

Never mind, it was the another shape creating the edge. You can delete these posts, thanks for the help.

While still fresh do you have idea why those lines are shown on the edges of shapes? How to prevent it?

Overlapping works but it is extra work specially on rounded corners

Antialiasing perhaps? Is that an exported file?

Yep. So I have to export it as huge file and scale smaller if I want to get rid of it?
