That is NOT normal. IIRC, that' s where the combustion air should be entering.
Does the unit burn ok with the glass front removed?
I'd push that insulation to one side & see if that helps...

I did and it has been running fine since I removed it I guess the previous owners stuffed it to stop the draft in the room. Thank you
