dpm problem with conservatory build

I have a slight problem (maybe):

I'm almost ready to lay a concrete conservatory floor, with a dpm underneath it. I was assuming the dpm has to mate with the house wall dpc, at the finished floor level. However, I've discovered that the house dpc is not in a straight line (the house is on a slight slope) and 'steps up' a course halfway across the conservatory. This means that a substantial part of the dpc in the house wall will be a course or slightly less, above the floor and therefore the edge of the dpm. Will this matter, as long as the dpc in the conservatory wall mates with the house one?
 
Bring it up above the house one and cover the exposed bit with skirting later.
 
If you want you can bring the concrete up higher than the house dpc obviously making sure to bring the dpm up as tight as possible to the wall
