Bearings Showing on Steering Column

[kansasc10]

As you can hopefully see in the pic below, The bearings on my steering column (red arrow) are showing and Im not sure if its something that I should be worried about. Im assuming that the bearings arent supposed to be showing but cant find a good enough photo of my exact steering column to tell for sure. Anyway to adjust the placement of the bearings? Is the spring below the bearings supposed to hold everything up in to place? Im just not sure where to start or what to replace without having to replace the entire column. I just replaced the gearbox and the wheel feels tight and working like it should. I guess I'm more worried about the safety aspect.
Thanks.
