According to the pic you posted that appears to be fully in Battery. It looks fully forward. The Bolt Carrier does not travel far enough to close that small opening you see. Until the parts get broken in it may not go fully into battery easily. It does require a little spring force to drive in fully into battery generally. You can check by pressing the "Forward Assist". What you are looking at is known as the BCG, short for Bolt Carrier Group. The Bolt fits into the Bolt Carrier. The Group is all the parts assembled together including bolt, carrier, firing pin, cam pin, firing pin retaining pin, etc.
Also the AR-15 is NOT an "assault" type weapon. That is a political term designed to make the AR-15 more deadly sounding. The generally accepted correct term is Modern Sporting Rifle.
