space between hub and sprocket

[Random13]

Hello,

I have recently changed my rear shoe pads and had to take the wheel off.

Out of curiosity I also opened my sproket and bolted it back in.

I have put it all together but the space between wheel hub and either the brake side or sprocket looks quite big. I have taken a pic so you guys can comment whether this is normal or I have done something wrong.

When tightening the sprocket bolts, in my haynes it says 55nm torque for 13mm socket. I did tighten my to 40nm and thought is it going to snap if pushed further so stoped, is that dangerous ?
isn't 55nm too much ? I did use the torque by putting pressure on end of the wrench

or maybe my wrench needs to be recalibrated as I did turn the grip thing all the way down and also below the lowest setting which I have heard can mess the torque wrench up

Thank you in advance

If you have all the spacers in the correct order and there's no parts left over, the gap must be right.............it certainly doesn't look to big to me. If you're still concerned, why not strip it down and start again?
As far as the sprocket nuts go, unless you're particularly weak in the arm muscle area, tighten them as hard as you can with a ring spanner, that should be tight enough and you'd have trouble breaking the studs with a spanner.
