Help & Suggestions to finish my IPE deck

Hello and thank you in advance for any suggestions and help.

I am completing my first decking project which is a 18' x 20' IPE deck. The issue that I have run into is that I am completing the final 8 courses of deck boards and I am running into a 3" gap after my final decking row and the the inside row of my boarder.

I first made my boarder, which is 3 board courses around the perimeter of the deck. Herringbone in the two corners at the house and angled in the front two corners following the design of the deck.

What options do I have to finish the decking boards? What will look the best?

I am not sure if I want to rip any boards but I can not make up that gap with just spacing adjustments.

Any ideas would be great. Thanks
