Flipper Hitting the Dental Implant

Rod, a dental implant patient, asks us:
I recently went to my dental implant dentist to check to see if my implant had fused enough to add the tooth. He was quite upset because the flipper that I had been using was hitting the dental implant and the dental implant hadn’t fused well yet (4months since implant).

Is this just matter of fixing the flipper and waiting more time or is this a real problem with the dental implant?
