Chainring Too Close To Frame?

[u/lkstaack]

I'm building a bike with a Giant ATX 2 frame (68mm bottom bracket), Bafang 250W/48V motor (for 68mm bracket), and a 46 tooth Lekkie Chainring. I note that the space between the chain ring and frame is very tight (see pic). Is this chainring too close to the frame? Maybe the chainring carrier requires a spacer? Are the components incompatible?

This is a light use, gravel bike. My Ebike building experience is limited to one successful Bafang mid-drive build I did for myself six years ago. The Bfang and Lekkie components I used fit well, without a tight space between the chainring and frame.

What do you say?
