Default Reverse Applique Triangle Question

I am playing around with reverse applique with no raw edges and am running into problems with my triangle points coming out with little pleats. As you will see from the picture, each point has a little pleat or ripple of fabric at the point. This happens right from the start, when you turn the fabric right side out after sewing and it won't iron out. I am clipping it right to the very tip on the inside.

Is there a trick to getting perfect points on inside corners?

Thanks!

I should likely explain that I am putting two pieces of white together, right side to right side, then sewing the triangles, cutting them out, then turning the fabric and ironing the triangles out. That's when the pleats appear. After that, I sew the black fabric behind the triangles, square up the block and cut away all the extra fabric behind.
