There must have been some sort of issue with the fit test, because the crew removed the nozzle extension from the thrust chamber and lowered the thrust chamber back onto the throat support (where the lack of nozzle extension would presumably provide a better view).

Picture 2 of 3.

Another fit test would be performed a month later.
