Black plastic rim gap in center of tank... Bad? Stand is 100% level

Just noticed a gap on a brand new tank in the center. The stand is completely level and the all corners and the rest of the plastic Rim on the tank is flush against the stand. I can fit a few business cards under the gab in the middle but can't fit even one business card under any other part, only in the center

Could this be a problem in the future/ does the tank need to be replaced?

Thanks
 
I am sure. The black plastic rim is also off because on the side there is gap where it is supposed to be touching the tank... the tank manufacturer already said that this can cause no problem and will not affect the tank in any way. The stand is 100% leveled. \

Would this be of concern though that the black plastic rim is lifted in certain areas (no corners though)? (i.e. in two parts I can fit a business card under whereas the rest of the plastic rim this is not possible)
 
Small gaps in the middle like that are fine on a rimmed glass tank. As long as the four corners have solid contact, you're good.
