Quick secondary fuel rail question w/ pics

Hi, tried searching but couldnt come up with the answer... Im reinstalling my rebuilt engine, and was curious if the secondary fuel rail was suppose to sit flush on the LIM? When I torqued down the two bolts there is a small gap in between the two.

here are a couple of pics... any help is appreciated, thanks!

That looks correct; the o-ring on the injector makes the seal, not the metal fuel rail.

Make sure you are using new insulators and o-rings to reduce the chance of problems.
