Typically that trim piece is nailed onto the face of the surrounding wall, so if the edge of frame is not flush (frame is not as wide as the wall) then there will be a gap - it shouldn't be a functional issue though. As far as fixing it you'd need to shift the frame over which would be pretty big job and then you might have a gap on the other side of frame, lol. But also, is that a metal frame? It looks there is a bit of welding, which if that's the case, that's just the way it was put together and would be impractical to repair. I guess if it really bothers you, you could fill in gap with bondo and repaint it, but don't think that would be worth it.

It's hard to see, but it looks like the splitting off piece might be glued on? If so then can pry it off carefully and reglue? If not, then you could saw it off flush and glue on a new bar and repaint. Much cheaper than the whole new door frame.

There was nothing in your light post that indicated that you were doing a project, what the goal of the project was, and what your question was.

If you had posted pics of the fixture, stated what you were trying to accomplish, stated what you’d found from Googling, and stated what your specific problem was, it would be an acceptable post.

Yep definitely tracking on that first one, that one is on me.

The second one for the light fixture I tried to put in the body of the text that I'm rewiring this light and my question was about how to do that because of it missing a ballast.

There have been more examples but I've deleted them because I go through and delete a bunch of stuff off my Reddit every now and then.
