Try also adjusting your Z acceleration values. When I first got my machine up and running parts were coming out way too short in the Z. Adjusting the acceleration fixed it.

It should be held firmly together by the wooden parts. On my machine it took a bit of force to get everything to fit.
The Z drive screw is shorter then the machine, so it's normal that you have a gap there. The axes keep the bed in X/Y place, not the screw.
Make sure your Z drive screw is all the way in the coupling, there should be no gap between the start of the thread and the coupling with the motor.
Finally, check you electronics, maybe the Z jumpers are wrong, there should be 2 connected and 2 disconnected jumper on the Z motor controller, see:
