How can I avoid offset at start and end of signal when using xcorr-function?

I have two signals:
signal_a, 200 Hz with time time_a
signal_b 40 Hz with time_b.
First I downsampled signal a to the same sampling rate of signal_b.
Then I precut the signals to fit them better, used detrend to make them better compareable.
Finally I used the Xcorr-function to fit the two signals on the x-axis.
I have this lag at the beginning and at the end of the signals . Is there a way to avoid this? (I know this is how xcorr-function works.)
Or do I have to cut the signal in several pieces, then use xcorr and put them back together?
Thank you for your answers!

hello Simon
I tweaked a bit your code ; see my comments and mods
no more manual cuts needed it's all automatic; also there is one section now that can be removed as it's no more needed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
% cutting the signals to same begin- and end timestamps
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------
% sig_a = signal_a_detrend(40:9095)
% sig_b = signal_b_detrend(104:9270)
% basically we can skip this section now as the manual cut is no more
% needed
sig_a = signal_a_detrend;
sig_b = signal_b_detrend;
so you can now simplify your code
hope it helps
full code below :

signal_a_downsample = interp1(time_a,signal_a,time_b); % I prefer this method as it will ensure that both data share the same time axis
signal_a_detrend = detrend(signal_a_downsample);
signal_b_detrend = detrend(signal_b);
