Is This a Proper Fit? Or Should the Crown Be Far Enough Down That Flossing Doesn't Pick Up on the Crown's Edge?

CheriTooth
When flossing my crown, there is a slight catch. In other words, floss when coming upward, catches slightly on the metal edge of the cap where it sits over the tooth. The floss doesn't break. There's -no- food or smell when I floss there. I have no other crowns. It's on a back bottom molar. Thanks!
