Gap between metal sheets on back doors in Model Y

Picked up a Model Y Long Range yesterday. Had a look around the backdoor on the hinge area (you open the front door which will then expose the door hinge area of the backdoor), I can see that the there is a gap between the two metal sheets on the backdoor (I attach two photos: one for the left backdoor and the other for the right one, and I circled the gaps in red). This happens to both backdoors. I wonder if others have come cross the same issue and don't know if this is normal or a fault. I can understand that given the sheets curve a little, it's a bit hard to line them up perfectly in the curved area. My worry is: will water eventually get into the gap and cause leak on the doors? Is it worthwhile to book a call to the service centre?
