They vary in quality - some have gaps and some don’t . I’ve sent the odd one back to get a better one. I also had similar concerns and now use the smooth wood bendy stick bridges rather than the bark wood ones but have also stuck hemp mat over bark wood ones before (when I was worried about a hamster falling in one from the roof bars). Some of them have sharper knobbly bits as well. Not sure where you got it but you could swap it. Different brands vary in quality as well. Catching a foot is more an issue for a dwarf hamster than a Syrian - unless the gaps are particularly big (I did have one like that).

Moss sounds a good idea.
