This can happen even if you get the 45 degree cut spot on. Usually if you still can’t get the miter joint to close perfectly, it’s because you either cut one piece too long (or too short), or the blade itself was not perpindicular (90 degrees) from the base.

Why is my miter saw fence not straight?
