Default sloppy Kwikset lock

My front door hasn't sealed well since I replaced the knob/latch with a
Kwikset Tylo. The latching tongue has so much slop that after I push
the door closed far enough to latch, the latch lets it come open about
2.5mm (0.1"). My weatherstripping doesn't have that much elasticity.

Is this just a bad design? Can the play be reduced?
