ASYMMETRICAL TRAILING EDGE FLAPS indication

hello,everyone,i am a 737-300 guy,and here is my puzzle:
during a normal approach, we reduced the speed, extended our flaps,and ready for landing.
when we set flap 10, we found a ASYMMETRICAL indication:L was pointing 10,but R stuck on 5.but it's just a indication,because we did not feel "An uncommanded roll"(in fact,we went back to cabin and checked flaps by visual,they were symmetrical!).so my puzzle is:
what should we do then?
we have to follow the QRH once we meet a abnormal situation.but in this case, i can't find the checklist we should follow.checklist "ASYMMETRICAL TRAILING EDGE FLAPS"? i don't think so,cause we don't have the feel of uncommanded roll.
we can't move flaps forward or backward anymore because of the asymmetrical protection system, unless we use the standby system.but standby system does not have the asymmetrical protection-----so it's dangerous.

so,i'm here looking for your opinion.
