Tiny gap between spacer & -17 stem because geometry?

Is this normal/ok? Slid my -17° stem onto the steerer and because of the angle it doesn’t fully clear the spacer width so it kind sits slightly off kilter and there’s a small gap where you can see the steerer.
Will this cause bad wear/tear on the stem or mess with anything? Is it because it’s only an 80mm stem and if it were longer it might clear?
