Lower ball joint only pressed in half way?

[3.0edge]

So I just got this truck and took it to the mechanic to have a once over. Everything checked out except for the passenger side lower ball joint. It looks like the ball joint itself has a lip and should be pressed in all the way to the control arm but it isn't, its maybe a 1/4" away. However he did say that the top c clip was put on.

How unsafe is this? Will it come out? The mechanic said it might make it hard to align but that was it. It's a moog BJ if that makes a difference.

If the snap ring is in, the ball joint is in.

Ideally that lip would be against the control arm, but if the snap ring is in its in.
