looks like your radio isn't in correctly.

Looks like you maybe have the bracket in the wrong place (mounted to far back)? And do you have the environmental control panel mounted properly? Or maybe put the radio shaft mount nuts and washers on, then put the OEM pot metal cover on? And made that gap.

I have made this same mistake, you mounted the control panel behind the mounting bracket of the dash rather than in front of the bracket.
