The outer (upper) wing has its aileron deflected down, the inner (lower) one has it up. Thus, assuming the relative wind on both wings roughly the same, the outer wing considered together with its aileron will have a higher AoA. The difference in relative wind between the two wings ("shorter track in the turn" or whatever) is negligible compared to the effect of ailerons.
