A light detection and ranging system including a mounting connection (100) of a lens system (220) in a mounting structure (112), including a lens system (220) mounted in the mounting structure (112), the mounting connection (100) including that the mounting structure (112) includes at least one alignment opening (320), and the lens system (220) includes a mounting shaft (114) configured to mount the lens system (220) in the mounting structure (112), wherein the alignment opening (320) laterally surrounds the mounting shaft (114) at least in part spaced apart in an alignment distance from the mounting shaft (114) in a predefined alignment condition; and a spacer (104) configured to span at least in part the alignment distance, wherein the mounting shaft (114) is fixed in the alignment condition in the alignment opening (320) by a first connection that fixes the spacer (104) to the mounting structure (112), and by a second connection that fixes the spacer (104) to the mounting shaft (114).
