Exactly. You don't want it to be right against the roof, or you'll end up losing paint everytime you open it.
If the gap is extremely excessive, you might consider drilling out the metal brackets that hold the wing to the car, that way you can adjust the fitment a little bit. You'll probably want to add some washers as well, so the bolt doesn't work it's way through.
