    You'll have to resize the icons to get them to fit down there; its part of the hidden icon grid. Hold Ctrl and scroll down with the wheel and that can make them smaller. From there you should be able to make them fit.

    At least, you should be able to.

    What you describe is normal.Icons of that size always have that distance from the taskbar.I don't think you use to fit them(that size of icon) when the taskbar was there.If you manage to do it take a snapshot with the taskbar and the icon close to it and post it.Keep in mind that if you have changed the DPI of the letters(Bigger size)that would also affect the position of the icons.
