That's pretty common, and easy to fix.

Some people like to shove a pool noodle in there. I don't like that idea too much, because the pool noodle is not fire resistant. I use pipe insulation from Home Depot.

I also used duct tape (the real metallic duct tape) to further block that area.

You can also use expanding foam insulation. Just be careful not to get too much in there or it will expand and distort body panels.
