Is it normal for the wing vent lock gap to be this big. it is about 3/8" gap between the lock and the frame of the wing vent that the lock should be pressed against..

No. The gaskets are likely too thick.
The lock should draw the wing window tight into the weatherstrip.

These are the gaskets we ordered from either CR, CCOT, or one of the other cruiser websites. Seems odd
I wasn't referring to the weatherstrip, but the gaskets on the locking mechanism.
Agreed, not normal. Mine cinches closed nicely. I would argue they are too thin though. Too thick and he wouldn't be able to close the lock.
The window is closing to far. Are you sure you have the gasket on correctly on the A-pillar side? I haven't done this on a 40 yet but have on other rigs. I'd double check that you have everything in the right channels and such.
You could drill and tap into the face of the latch nub. Looks like a stainless cap screw with a few washers would pull the window tightly closed.
