Silhouette Trem Posts

Hi. I’m just wondering if it’s normal for the Silhouette Special’s bridge plate to be touching the pickguard or if the trem posts on this guitar have issue? I can’t lower the trem post more than this (can’t have the front of the bridge almoat flush with the body), it would start to clip off the pickguard when I do a trem dive with full range of motion.

Thank you.
