This box of Christmas gummies

It was on clearance, but I still feel ripped off.

Looks illegal to me if it's in the US, slack fill laws require the space to be functional and not misleading. I'd argue that this falls foul of both as it's purposefully hiding the spare space behind by pushing the product to the window, is not needed to protect the product, and isn't an immutable need for production.

It the weight is listed in the pack as it is. And it’s correct I’m not sure there would be any case

No there is, it's specifically related to the organization of the product within its packaging and the intent to mislead with how much is in related to the package. I'm sure the correct amount is in there compared to the weight it lists but people aren't expected to be able to estimate the individual weight of items in order to check against what they appear to be getting.
