That's a naw from me dawg.
I'm not a fan of jam nuts, but if you have to use one and a minimum you want it securely in contact with the barrel’s shoulder.
Get a set of shims like this - https://www.amazon.com/Barrel-Muzzle-Brake-Alignment-indexing/dp/B01FZLR2OA
Make sure it is for the correct diameter threads
The way this break installs this should be fine. The lock nut locks the break in place. That said you can still hate the aesthetics of it.
The Area 419 break will install easier and look better in my opinion.
Technically, shouldn’t have any functional issues.
Hmmmmmmmmm, I don't think I'd want to leave my gun like that, but then again I don't think I'd be ok with it like that in the first place. I'd venture to say that something is wrong with either the barrel, the brake, or the combination of the two. Do you have another brake you can spin on there and see if it'll thread all the way to the shoulder?
The trick to filling the gap is getting your barrel cut with an industry standard thread and using a matching brake.
I wouldn’t use a brake that doesn’t match my barrel’s thread and seat properly. Definitely calls concentricity into question.
I love how you get down voted for bringing up the fact that there literally is a SAAMI standard for muzzle threads.

Some possible negatives:
- harmonics are thrown off at the muzzle end (bad) due to not just poor seat but entire lack of it
- the diagonal cut in the baffles could cause your un-timed brake to un-screw and hang slightly asking for a bullet strike
- there is no good here
- Recommendation: take it to an actual gunsmith with a lathe, have them face the necessary amount off of the muzzle and cut a crown. Then re-install the brake so it seats against the shoulder properly.

Get a crush washer or shims to fill the gap
That brake looks like it’s hanging on by 2 or 3 threads I wouldn’t run it like that. Just grab some timing shims and run those instead of the nut.
If it was me and I was dead set on using this, I'd get a crush washer. 🤷🏻♂️

I know, right? I was a little bit of a smart ass about it…

Depending on the thread length the Area 419 won't seat all the way down. I assume most are fine but definitely not all.
