Are silver gaps between MacBook Pro M4 vents normal?

Hello everyone, I was wondering if this was normal in a MacBook Pro m4 model. I was looking at the hinge area from the top and saw this silver "gaps" between the vents on the two sides of the MacBook. looks even to me, so just wondering if this is normal. I have attached a screenshot.
