I did try sand it and wd40. still does not go to the end but has reduced the gap by a lot maybe 8mm left.

I would return it to the shop prior to that.
bought long time ago online so can't return now. Thought it was a quality feature. does not affect its use though.

It's the ferrule length and width being slightly out. Won't affect the rod 1 bit so don't bother with anything else to get them together

Is this normal?

A lot of rod models like that. Its kind of normal.
Keep using it and it'll eventually wear off and will fit. Even if it doesn't, it won't affect much on anything. Don't stress too much about it. Apart from it looks weird, its not "harmful".
