MY ANSWER:

The aileron is on the far end of the wing while the flap is on the inside of the wing.

now you might think that these 2 are similar but in ways they arent.

The aileron help the plane to spin bank and tilt,

while on the other hand the flap increases lift or decreases drag for take off and landing.

Hope this helped :)
