Need help finishing installing hardie board

Hi all,

I'm new here. I recently just resided my house. I installed new sheathing, 1/4" foam board and am using James hardie siding. The problem I am having is getting the final piece installed. I have to rip it down to 3" to cover the other piece. The soffits are not flat they continue down at an angle. If I use an angled nail gun it just skips off the siding when I shoot it. I though about gluing it but not sure if that would be best either.

Anyone have any suggestions?

They would be much appreciated.

What are you using for a nail gun, and nails?
Trying to picture how a nail is "skipping" if your holding the gun at a right angle to the siding.
And no just glue is not going to work.
