Measure all the legs. Copy to a piece of cardboard. Cut the cardboard. Check to make sure it fits. Use the cardboard cutout as a stencil for the filler piece. Use a jig saw and cut the filler piece. Use a router to cut a 45 degree angle on the inside of the right leg to make it fit flush. Glue into place.
