Composite materials are not all honeycomb – was any or a substantial amount of this rudder attachment point – the portion in the vertical fin that apparently failed – made of honeycomb composite?

Why was there a repair done, during manufacture, to the attachment point and was it accomplished at the forward attachment point? (damaged during installation, misalignment noticed in subsequent inspection after installation?)
