Could we possibly be missing the dust seal that would normally hide the gap?

was there a machined race in the steerer tube already by chance, this is how newer bmx forks are, they still include races with headsets just incase you have old forks though. and yes i have seen a race forced over a machined race before and it created a similar gap.

Is it the crown race that came with the headset?
It looks like a race is already there.
Bearings can come in different sizes and degrees°
Is it the right bearing?
mixing 45 and 36 degree parts

Is it flush when it’s off the steerer tube?
