Normally downlight got a strip of spring like metal plate (with teeth) that clamps the lower rim upwards to the false ceiling. But sometimes false ceiling not perfectly flat so got small gap, so use white sealant to cover gaps. Ideally not use the false ceiling type of paste cos that is not flexible.
