Yes, the Bowden tube IS suppose to rest against the heatbreak. Make sure you cut the Bowden tube straight across so there's no, I mean NO opening between the Bowden tube and the heatbreak. To make insertion of filament easier, at the entry point for the filament, take a drill bit, slightly smaller than the outside diameter of the Bowden tube and (no electric drill) hand twist the drill bit against the Bowden tube creating a tapered opening so the filament slides easily into the Bowden tube.
*** If you want to insure you don't get your Bowden tube to melt against the heatbreak, go to https://www.captubes.com/shop/ ..... from the heatbreak to the top of your hotend, leaving a few inches above, cut the Capricorn tube to fit. No need to have a full length of Capricorn tube to your extruder motor (if you're not using a direct drive system). All you'll need is a connector between the Capricorn tube and the regular PTFE tube. A connector can be found on https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2717271
