ectoplasmosis-
I asked for exactly this advice and haven't dieded yet with a steerer that ends just above the centreline of the top stem bolt. @gbj_tester passed on a tip, which is that after your headset is adjusted and your stem clamp bolts are tightened properly, you can tighten the headset preload bolt quite a bit tighter for extra security. Because the stem bolts are already tight it shouldn't have any effect on the headset operation.
ffm
What’s the steerer made of?
