Ok, I wasn't sure. Sometimes parts get mixed up; and sometimes folks don't
use the "TR3A" terminology. (Which makes sense, as the factory generally
did not as well.)

Nothing wrong, that is the way it should be. The three adjusting screws are
enough to hold it in place; and the trim ring will cover the gap. You can
reduce the protrusion a bit by tightening all the adjusting screws evenly
(so the alignment stays the same), but I didn't bother.
The lamps do protrude kind of a long way from the body; which I suspect is
why the TR3A had the mounting surface somewhat recessed behind the front of
the apron.
BTW, it's probably best to complete the headlight alignment before
installing the trim rings. Mine were really, really tight, I'm not sure
I'll be able to get them off again without damage.
