Is this gap between the crank arms and bottom bracket normal?

Pretty sure it’s not correct.
check your chainline, if it’s good and the bike has been set by a shop it should be fine. might not be so pleasing on the eyes, but the easiest way to adjust chainline is with bb.
yes its normal, i have the same setup on my bike and have had no issues at all. im pretty sure its impossible for the cranks to sit fully flush against the bb like you would see in a Omnium/GXP setup
Bro chill they’re on good. Torque more if ur really scared. Suginos rule
Completely normal! You will find this gap on every bike with square taper BB. Sometime smaller, sometime bigger. Important note: better not mix ISO and JIS standards. And it is no sign for a „bad“ setup.
Its 100% fine but personally i find it ugly thats why i go for hollowtech cranks with external bb
