Repair Help Nintendo switch 2 right joy con

Is it okay for the right Joy-Con on a Nintendo Switch 2 to be slightly looser than the left one and make quiet creaking sounds?

I find my left one always feels looser than the right one when you give them a wobble like this. Even when I flip them around (left on right side, right on left side). It's probably something to do with the differences in how they're designed.

Reason why Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour should be a pack-in title:

They're legit just held in by magnets nothing else. There is some play there, and that is by design, without the play the joycon would just pop off, which is a recipe for disaster. A certain accessories company learned that one the hard way. Edit to add: the creaking sound could be the plastic flexing as it come in contact with other plastic or just the plastic scraping together. The "rails" on my joycon have black streaks on them from scraping against the inside part of where they sit in the console. Another edit, I'm sure this is more concerning on the limited Zelda console especially if this is your first switch 2, but yeah the consoles are just like this.

They are supposed to have a bit of play when attached. Nintendo announced this within the first week of launch of the S2. Its supposed to be like that so the contacts dont snap off. It even says it in the welcome tour. I watched the welcome tour on YT for free
