*pics* Filter Gap?

Hey guys, I'm thinking this is my final question. I was able to fix my installation problems thanks to everyone on this board last night. But when I was installing, I noticed a gap between the WeaponR filter and the MAF tube.

Its very very tiny, but when put against a light source, a light shines through it. To better explain, I have included a picture of where the tiny gap is.

So my question is... is this bad for the engine? and is there a way to close the gap?

Thanks!

Thanks
