How to "remove the gap" between two objects

[nataq]

Hi all,
I have used Illustrator for decades and have always used a workaround for this, but I assume there is a more professional way that would save me a lot of time. So, I hope you can help me with this.

How can I remove the gap between these two objects, or better said let one end, where the other one starts?

Any help is greatly appreciated - thank you 😉

Select both.

In the Align panel, click the bottom right Align to Key object.

Click the object you want to align to and click one of the Distribute Spacing icons.
