When a camper is loaded on a pickup truck bed there will be a gap between the truck bed rails and the underside of the camper as you show in your photo. No worries there.
For your camper tie-downs, it loos as though you have attached the rear ones just as they are designed and if the front tie-down is attached to something strong enough you will have no problems. It actually looks like the eyebolt that is normally used for the front tie-down would be behind the stake pocket tie-down and... view full answer...
The manufacturers supplied data for the Draw-Tite # 41544 hitch does not show any information regarding its use with a camper tie down system. Some tie downs for slide-in campers attach directly to a specialized truck hitch, but not in this case. Other tie downs attach to the truck frame, to the trucks factory installed hitch, or stake pockets.

I have not heard of anyone complaining about the stake pocket tie downs # TDSF damaging the truck bed. The same for # HSSF. I find the stake pocket option to be a less invasive installation as well. The process of installing the tie downs would not flex the metal of the bed.
But if someone where to then use associated hardware # TDHP and over tighten it then I could see how someone could bend the metal of the bed where the tie downs are installed.

I checked with my contact over at TorkLift and he mentioned that in almost every case they have encountered, the TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum # TLC1208-30 will occupy the space that your current camper tie downs are mounted so the camper tie downs would interfere with installation. In order to install the SuperHitch Magnum you will need to remove your camper tie downs and attach them to the dedicated mounting spots on the SuperHitch. view full answer...

Yes, the Torklift FastGun Turnbuckles # TLS9521 are intended to be used with bed-mounted tie downs, rather than frame-mounted.
We would never recommend using a strap as a camper tie down. At the very least you would need to use a standard steel turnbuckle. The Torklift FastGun Turnbuckles are going to be the most secure and durable that we offer. view full answer...

From my research I found that the recommended clearance between your truck cab and the overhang of your truck bed camper is at least 1 1/2". You can put something in the bed of your truck to raise the camper, the idea I like the best is the high density foam insulating board. This will give some added height and will not be heavy to move around. You can pick those up at your local hardware store.
Once you put a piece or two of the foam boards in the bed of your truck, you will be able... view full answer...
