Does the metal frame need to touch and click the y-stop? (y-assembly)

Just a quick question since i started to build today, but live chat seems to be unavailable all day (my luck).

In my case i finished the y axis, however i notice that the metal frame is not touching the button on the y-stop. It is right next to it.

Here is a photo:

The button is not even a half millimeter away from getting pressed by the 3d printed part... Is this normal?

Thanks!

I've done some measurements on my printer and this is what I found:

The Y-corner for the power supply (the one with the black plastic L) and the Y-motor mount should have a distance between them exactly 67mm for the endstop to be triggered. The endstop is triggered by the Y-belt holder.

and an 8 inch (200mm) or greater caliper is recommended.

Yes the y-belt holder is not touching the button on the y-stop. It misses it by a matter of a half milimeter.
What do i adjust for it to touch it?
