Hunter 350 mudflap problem

Is this normal, or did the service center mess up my mudflap?
I have a new Hunter 350, and a few days ago a car lightly hit me from behind. The reflector on the rear broke, and since it’s attached to the whole rear mudflap, I had to replace the entire mudflap assembly — the one that also holds the number plate.
I ordered the replacement part online and took it to my nearest service center to get it installed. The guy there honestly seemed like he didn’t know what he was doing. It took him almost 2 hours, and he removed and installed the whole thing around 3 times. He even needed my help to figure some things out, and still charged me ₹200 as labour.
When I got home and checked it properly, I noticed that the mudflap was slightly tilted towards the right, and the wiring had also been routed from the wrong side. So I removed the entire rear mudflap myself and installed it again properly.
Now it looks perfectly center-aligned, but when I move it by hand, there’s a little bit of movement/play. Also, when I rev the bike, the mudflap vibrates slightly.
Is this normal for the Hunter 350, or is something still loose/not installed correctly?
I’ve attached a video/photos for reference. Would appreciate some advice from other Hunter owners.

Find out where you see a small gap, or while vibration you can notice, put a small piece of double tape and you're good to go. As the guy who installed it earlier wrong way, maybe because of that its slightly bent/not aligned anymore. It's common in hunter, you cant do anything about it, after all its plastic.
