Aftermarket stereo - 2008 Camry

Hi, has anyone had issues installing these factory replacement, aftermarket head-units?

I bought one, and despite using the factory bracket and mounting holes, it ended up with a gap between the top of the radio and the air vents:

The company I'd bought it from maintains they've installed tons of these without an issue, so I'm thinking there was either something wrong with this particular one, or that they are drilling extra holes in the factory bracket when installing...not something you would think would be needed when installing something that is supposed to be made for this car. The rest of the stereo fit in well.

I've seen heaps of similar ones on places like ebay and amazon, and some of the reviewers on those ones have had similar issues, but others have been fine so could just be a bad batch or poor quality control by whoever makes the actual hardware.

I ended up getting my money back and got one of these instead: https://www.gtacarkits.com/product/toyota-camry-2007-2011-iphone-aux-kit/ 

Just wondering if anyone else has tried a similar thing and what they needed to do to get it to work?
