HD Audio Connector... loose... ok?

Hello All,

I bought a Cougar Solution case over the weekend. I was inspecting it prior to starting my build and I noticed that the black, looped cable had some play in it. After more evaluation, the pin at the bottom of the connector moves up and down when I move the loop. The pin only moves in the visible area and it does not come out of the casing.

I can return the case as I am well within the return period. I just wanted to check with the community first. This is not normal, right?

The picture is not my connection but it is close enough. I am not sure what the silver pins are coming out of the bottom. Might be pins in the motherboard? Not sure.

thats fine

So the metal pin pushes up into the connector block? I would just hit the top with a blob of hot glue so it cant move.
