Trying to find a solution for this. I believe the problem is because I'm using KA engine and transmission mounts and not CA mounts.

Is there a way to adjust this gap without buying new mounts or buying a custom drive shaft?

ka mounts wont do that, u probably have an abs driveshaft and a non-abs diff.

I have the same gap on my CA18 setup. It probably has to do with the JDM lsd or something. It's nothing to worry about, it's not going to leak.

Thanks for the reply guys, very much appreciated. I'll sleep a little better once I have the one piece in.
