Fully loaded with water? I think whoever tiled the bathroom megga fucked up and cut them to short...
I think i might have to put some grout in when fully full of water then put some more sealant on?

You should fill the bath, seal it and then leave it till it goes off before letting the water out.

I filled my bath, sat the tiles on the bath (i.e. no gap), then put a nice small trim around afterwards.
Looks good

Can you not get something like this to either fit behind the tiles (I doubt possible now, unless you have some spares) or something similar for over the top of the tiles.

Most baths have adjustable feet.
Pop the side panel and jack it up
