I have the older SSO rear bumper on mine.. there's a reason for that gap.
The gap exists around the bumper is to avoid contact to the body. These bumpers can 'flex' in certain scenarios, so if they sit fully flush you risk rubbing body panels or lights.
My bumper has a folding tray option on the swingout which sits very close to the rear hatch.. long story short, something got stuck there and it ended up rubbing the paint off the rear hatch
