Trimming the edge of each roof to the other with set the correct angle to the edge of the roof.
But seeing as you already have the ridge in the correct location selct the edge of the ridge and in the pet palette choose the custom angle option (last tool top-right of the pet palette).
Set the edge to be vertical and this should solve your problem.

If you are using a later version of ArchiCAD, this type of roof is modeled better with a single Multi-plane roof than 2 Single-plane roofs.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
