Default Leaf springs shifting?

Just put a new Rough Country lift on, maybe have about 300 miles on it. When I went to move my truck today, I noticed the bottom spring in the leaf pack not lining up. I took some pictures. Is this normal? What should I do? I haven't put the bigger tires on it yet and am a little sceptical, I don't want the sping to damage a tire.

Happens with my Rubicon Express springs too. I just hit them back in with a hammer, I always figured it was normal/not a big deal.

So, normal? Yeah, I'm okay with that. I was thinking about picking two extra clamps up to see if that helps keep them in place. I won't stress over it though. Thanks.
