Yes, do not try to foce it on any more than it is. This design of rod joint is the best version for various reasons, mainly being that it wears out much slower.

From my understanding, multi piece rods seem to not make that seamless fit like you would expect because they are accounting for wear over time. As you assemble and disassemble the rod it will wear at the joint. So giving the extra space/material it will essentially keep the same fit as it wears.

I’m assuming that you mean “is the connection between the rod pieces supposed to have extra space?” And yes, that is right. As you repeatedly take apart and put together the rod, the material will slowly wear, so if the rod pieces only sat snug once butting up against each other, they would quickly start to become loose.
