Occasionally, the implant is exposed during the healing process and depending on the amount of exposure, should pose no real problem. The amount of exposure that I see in your photo would not concern me. The movement is another story however. If the movement is simply coming from a loose healing...
It is completely normal for that adjusting. It is sometimes a little more tedious to adjust a crown over an implant to get it just right but once it's adjusted, a little polishing of the porcelain and it's no problem!
