I need help to see if the my vrf bezel is sitting right. Does this seem normal to you guys? Seems like a big gap between bezel and case. Bezel moves great and nothing seems loose on it.

It's definitely not seated fully bro. If it were mine, I would lift it off with a bezel removal tool, examine and repair the bezel gasket if necessary. Remove the insert so it doesn't get cracked during the re-press and then press the bezel fully with a crystal press and a bezel die. Then align and reattach the insert.

There are shortcuts you could take like gently pushing the bezel down on both sides to try to get it to snap down. I've cracked an insert before taking shortcuts so I don't do that anymore.
