That oil lamp again

It took a couple of tries (miscommunication on my end) but I got the chimney and the collar for that old oil lamp. NOW I find that the collar does not fit the burner that goes with the lamp. I jammed the burner on there temporarily so the lamp can be used while I figure out what I want to do about it. I do love this lamp.

Is the fitting too loose or tight? I have a lamp that it is has been impossible to get an exact fit for a chimney ... and was able to use a little sliver of cork (shaved from a wine bottle cork) to help tighten the fit .. and it's able to take the heat.

The chimney fits fine, it's the burner which is a little too small for the collar.

I meant to comment that the lamp looks beautiful.
