V4 engines: is this amount of play in the clutch hub rivets normal?

My 2017 tuonos is shot (45k miles) so I got a whole clutch assembly with supposedly 5k miles to scavenge the parts I need to replace.
I am inspecting it now and noticed this play mine doesn’t have, is it normal or a sign of abuse/higher mileage?
Would suck as its the part I needed the most (mine has scoring on the teeth and wont engage smoothly, plus the friction material has swollen by .2mm on all plates)
Thanks!

[Update] I 3D printed my own spring spacers

As someone here might remember, a couple of months back I made a post about my 15mm 3D printed spring spacers I put on the front suspension of my Audi A4 B9 (TPU 95A, 100% concentric infill).
Since so many people asked me to post an update after a while, here it is:
first pic is the day I installed it, second one is last week as I was replacing a ball joint that had been clunking for the past 6 months.
The "after" picture of the car has been taken today.

As you can see, it's holding up perfectly fine, no sign of deformation and the added ground clearance is still all there.
I have driven the car approx 4k km in all conditions, be it fast, fully loaded and in fairly hot climate (a couple of times all at the same time lol), and I couldn't notice any particular squeaks or weird behavior coming from the suspension.
