Question is, is there some type of foam gasket or something that should fit it tightly to the air outlet down there?
Just doesn't look right...
the lower end, where the duct meets the heater core box, should have a tab that faces the floor with a hole in it. its maybe .75" or so square.

said tab gets a screw through it attaching it to the heater core box.

no gasket or sealer have i ever seen between the two. the only mounting for the duct are the tabs on top of the dash and the above mentioned tab-with-screw to the heater box.
