RSJ overlaps one side and falls short the other onto pad

Hi, just a quick question and some advice would Bev appreciated on this. Steel just added and overlapped the pad into cavity on one side and short on the other. Not by much but wasn’t sure if it could present a problem? A couple of photos attach to illustrate. 

Thanks

More info required.

 

Im not an SE but I thought the bearing end should be circa 150mm? Sometimes brick piers or steel posts have to be added otherwise its only resting on a 100mm thick leaf. If your RSJ doesn't reach to the cavity one end how long is the bearing? Less than 100mm or is their a pier?

 

Edit: Perhaps I'm wrong, perhaps 100mm is ok?

Typically, a minimum bearing of 100mm is needed for beams that bear either end (or sometimes both ends) onto a concrete padstone.

The standard bearing is 150mm, and this can be larger. But, anything under 100mm would be highly unusual, as the less the beam bears onto the padstone the less force can be transferred down into a building’s foundations.

 

 

Check with whoever designed the beam?
