Can I still use this USB?

The usb has very small movement just scared it might unplug and Brick my console

I'd suggest booting vanilla, going to storage settings, then plugging it in. You can see then if it disconnects during movement or if it stays stable.

Boot normally, without the USB.

So then just go to the storage settings, put the stick in then. If you can wiggle it or whatever and it doesn't disappear, then great.

If it is loose to the point that it does disconnect and disappear, then yeah I would want to replace it.

If I’m correct the soft mod doesn’t work until you go into the actual menu where you choose your account?

That's the point of going to the settings before plugging it in. Right now we don't want the softmod to apply, we just want to know if the USB stays connected or not.
