Weird layering of beer in fermentation (with pics). Any thoughts?

Hi guys! We brewed this IPA with an OG of 1.062. In the end it fermented to 1.021 which is a bit higher than we wanted to but that was expected since we didn't do a proper starter due to some time restrictions. After the primary the Citra/riwaka/amarillo-bursted IPA smelled amazing. After a few days in the secondary it looked kinda odd, though. The top of the fermentor is crystal clear while the lower two thirds is super hazy. Should this be bothering us or is it to be expected when the FG is so high?

That is just the yeast settling. Give it a little while longer and the entire jug will look like the top.
