Frames too tight?

In a typical super that holds 10 frames, they always seem very tight during inspection. I always feel like I’m going to squish bees when I am putting everything back in place to get all ten frames back in. Am I being overly concerned about this? I feel like if I leave a frame out it gives a little more room but then bees will just bridge the space. Do you pack it tight or leave a little extra room?

Is this a queen cell?

Queen is present and active but I noticed this during last inspection. This is a new nuc I transferred into a super about 30 days ago. They have several frame still empty and room to grow.
