Default Speedo relocation help...

Alright gurus... Here's the situation, got the autometer, got it installed got the top clamp done... No issues with the wires here..... As I'm putting in the speedo into the autometer clamp I'm noticing quite a bit of white space... Which is the inside plastic color of speedo itself when you remove it from the factory housing. Even when I put the plug on and replace the back black cap you will still see it. I've looked at tons of pictures and they don't have this gap where you can see the white plastic.... Those who have done it, what am I missing here?

On another forum I saw someone tried a rubber gasket fitting they cut to fit that would cover it.Thoughts?

It's a nightster, but he's using the autometer clamp.
