Pole Pieces Above Cover

[Aeroprof]

I hope this isn't a silly of a question. I have seen jazz basses where the pole pieces stick out above the plastic cover a small amount but most seem to be flush. Is there a "correct" alignment?

I adjusted the height of my new custom shop 60's and the pole pieces stick out from the cover 1/16" or so. If I raise the cover to make the pole pieces flush the cover is loose. Is it OK if the pole pieces stick out?

Thanks in advance for your responses!

Yes, it's ok.

Thanks - I was concerned that I had torqued down the plastic covers too far. The spacing between the top of the pole pieces and strings is where it should be spec-wise.
