Is my swingarm installed correctly?

I've had a the back end of the bike apart over winter to give it all a check over, a clean and a regrease.

It's now all back together but i've spotted something i'm not 100% sure about.

There is quite a large gap bewteen the swing arm and the frame where they meet, on the inside on the right hand side.

Can anyone confirm if this gap is normal?

I follwed all the instructions for reinstalling the swingarm and torquing the adjuster etc but it doesn't look that gap should be there to me.

Its about a 2-3mm gap.

There doesn't appear to be any lateral play.

If i remember correctly thats right there should be a small gap there, just had a look at a few oh my photo's and it seems mine is the same. Will check when i get home in the morning to confirm.

Yes normal that's the side the adjuster screws into push the swingarm over as the other side has the hardened bush.
