Projector lighting question

So I recently scored a set of used projector headlights. That are in great shape! and put out awesome light output and seem to have been barely used! Having a issue figuring out why light would be escaping from the back of the housing? Maybe a missing gasket? The Bulb is an h1 and does not sit flush in the opening of the projecter. Maybe possibly wrong bulb?, im thinking maybe a mini h1 goes there. But that really does not seem to be where light is escapeing from. Its between the octagon looking nut and bulb circular housing where the bulb sits insecurly. Im sure I could rig up something, but if theres something already out there thats suppose to go there, id rather go that route. Here are some pics. If anyone could help lead me in the right direction. Id appreciate it thank you.

After market lense with aftermarket housing. Brand name says vision on it. But Im gonna swap out aftermarket housing with oem. The fitment is not as flush, but the AM lense seems to be good. Problem fixed no more escaping light, rigged up a gasket its perfect now. Now just gotta figure out how to properly align projectors.
