Gosh, if it was me I would probably ignore it. But maybe you can take that pipe apart and tap it out so it is more round and see if you get a better fit. Duravent makes a good chimney system

I personally don't like duravent stuff, their chimney systems might be alright but their gas systems are made of 28 gauge aluminum and can fall apart in your hands.

If it's like my oval rigid I just put in then that's not really a gap, just the lip of the collar that is at the top of each section

yes it is where it connect to another piece of chimeny, it does it where ever the seam is on each piece, right where it goes under the connecting collar.
