Sounds like you aren't getting the tab at the bottom pushed into it's clip.
On my 3A, I found that I had to use a thin piece of metal to slide between
the rim and headlight, to push directly on the tab.  Otherwise it bends
instead of going into the clip.

You need to loosen the 'gland' nut on the front of the steering box, turn
the stator tube to the correct position, and retighten the nut.

Sorry, no idea about the gap.  Could you rebuilt your original head, using
the new plastic from the repro ?
