Is this normal? PRS Tremonti SE bridge

Hey everyone. I bought my first PRS a few months ago which also happens to be my first guitar with a tremolo. Tremonti SE. I just noticed the bridge isn’t flat on the body when the tremolo is not in use. The back is lifted 1/4-1/2 in. The guitar has its original strings and set up. Is the bridge supposed to be flat on the body? Or is this normal?

The bridge should be parallel to the body. Not flat up against it. Like this:

Just like in @alantig 's photo, this is the normal setup for a PRS bridge. It's "floats" above the body so you can wiggle it up and down a bit for those sweet warbly sounds!

Thank you! Idk why mine is lifting off the body? Any ideas?

If it's tilted, you probably just need to tighten the trem claw screws in the back. Just go slow, and do it evenly. Small turns (1/4-1/2), retune, evaluate where you're at. It's dead simple, and easily reversible.
