Faulty mounting on armada JJ

I have an issue with a pair of Armada JJ I've ordered from a web shop.
The skis arrived mounted with Marker Griffon bindings as I ordered.
I've notice that the the binding didn't touch the top sheet of the ski there was a gap about 1/2 mm. I tried the scerws and they weren't fastened enought. They told me from the shop to tight them with a screw driver. Do you think is a good idea to take the off put glue and then tight them or just as they are.

Don't order shit online and not def dont have them mounted... but yeah just tighten the screws by hand. Your better off not taking the bindings off.

it's a well known European shop, I don't live is the US.
I did tighten the screws the gap decresed but still there is a tiny gap that I can
see through if I spot a torch from the other side( I can't slide a credit card through).
I'm a bit worry to tight them more.
What do you think?

It doesn't matter where from, I just want to find out if it's gonna be alright to ski on them or what to do in order to avoid ruining brand new skis.

I love my griffons, Ive never had a single problem with them. I'm not sure why people get the idea that they arent a good binding.

Because many people break them due to the plastic structure.

those would be squires, I know a guy who is around 200lbs who had some squires basically explode on him first day on them. Im 175lbs and I give my equipment a pretty tough time. griffons haven't failed me a single time.
