I am concerned about this, but perhaps this is a normal deformation of the o-ring on this side of the bolt? Hard to believe, as I have never in my life installed an o-ring that was supposed to flatten out squeeze all the way to the edge of the washer.
Is this normal??

No.
This isn't normal.
Washers are bevelled on the inside so even if the case is not chamfered, the o rings should be contained inside the cavity of the washer chamfer.
Remove one of the washers that you can see the red? o-ring squished out, and take some photos for us here.
