When I added a gap, I also added a Contact Tool and edited the Pinball Radius to be large enough, then I got what you got, a Far Open condition even though the Pinball was large enough. I changed the Formulation to MPC, which I do for all my Bonded Contacts, then the Contact Tool showed the contact was closed.
