This is not incorrect, but it doesn't sound quite right..."glossing over something" means that you leave it out in a particular situation where you could/should say something. The dictionary definition: "try to conceal or disguise something unfavorable by treating it briefly or representing it misleadingly." E.g., the IT department might gloss over the issue in a report because they don't want to deal with it.
