Default Handlebar question

Well bieng the noob that I am I decided to adjust the bars on my bike. Everything went fine but now there is a small gap between the clamp and riser and by small I mean 1/32". Also I never checked to see if it was like that before I started messing with it. All the screws where tightened evenly and as tight as I could get them. I just want dont want this to become an issue. If its a non issue then Im good. Thanks
