Now, I was careful to tag and document the crossmembers so I know they were in the correct places and all the frame holes lined up when I eased the bed down.
My question is how do I improve this gap? While I didn't measure, I recall this gap to be maybe more like 2 inches.
thanks for the help on this.

2 inches is a bit wide, I think.
