Am I cooked?

I ordered this AF Cartier Santos off Andiot and posted it across a few channels to get help with
QC. Yesterday I approved it for GL, but now when I take a look at it it almost feels like the crown is not in all the way, like its sticking out from where its supposed to be and im not sure if the metal is flesh to it or broken but it seems jagged to me. I don't know if its my eyes or if there is anything I can do at this stage but some help would be appreciated.

Edit: Im more referring to the blue crystal in the crown and how it sits on the metal. It looks off to me.
