A small gap is normal and necessary to allow proper movement of the handle without damaging the escutcheon below it. An excessive gap results from improper height adjustment at the time of installation. To fix it: Loosen the nut under the counter/sink. Then screw the escutcheon UP just enough to make up the gap. Then re-tighten the nut.
