Yes, whenever joining a straight edge with an angle, you always have a bit of hangover. The pieces should NOT be sewn together tip to tip...each side should have an equal amount. Actually, EXACTLY like it's shown in the picture in your book.
What would help you is this the corner/dog ears ruler.

I'm sure you can find a template...it makes sewing these types of shapes together really easy, until you get used to eyeing the distance.
How were the yellow triangles cut? HST or QST?
