Yes. You don't see the gap on a stock ball joint because of the boot that is on it.
Mine looked the same.

Did you snug up the bottom first? I believe if you thigh ten the lower nut very snug it should press the upper into the taper enough to keep the top shank from spinning.

I did try that but it didn't get it tight enough

Did you clean the inside of the steering knuckle tapered bores with break cleaner and the ball joint shank? If not, fork it and clean them and try again. Make sure there's no rust or grime in the steering knuckle holes.
Past that, I'm not sure. Maybe use a short piece of 2x4 and try to press it on the shank a little further maybe.???
