Expert Reply:
It isn't uncommon to have some space between the SuperSprings # SSR-209-40 and the strike plate they make contact with when under load. Many of the installations shown in the instructions, linked for reference, also show a gap. You can close that gap a little by using the urethane spacers that came with the kit.
