Default FAST 90mm TB question

alright so i bought this FAST 90mm throttle body off my buddy for pretty much nothing and i have a few questions. i know about the first edition ones and the sticking partly open problem which i believe this one had. when i got it the blade had a bead of silicone all the way around it so i decided to take the whole thing apart and clean everything. anyways when i got it back together i noticed that theres a decent size gap along the whole ring of the blade. is it supposed to have that much of a gap all the way around? (yes i know theres a screw in the idle hole)

heres some pics.

There should not be that big of a gap, but since your idle hole is plugged it might just make up for that. Not sure

the gap in the picture with the light behind actually makes it look larger then it actually is but its still a decent size gap all the way around.
