Default SharK Fin not Flush to the roof

I just noticed that rear of my shark fin antenna is not flush. The rubber gasket is not touching the roof. I curious to see if all TX's are like this or just mine?

I've never really looked at mine. Black just hides this kind of stuff when you only glance at it. Now I have to observe this!

Our 550h+ isn’t super flush and has some wiggle to it but after surviving a PNW winter w/ all the rain and snow we get I’ve seen no issues.

Rubber gasket in the rear of the shark fin is not making any contact with the roof.
