Today there was a tiny little accident, all my fault, but still unintentional obviously. When I stood up from my chair the headphone's cable got wrapped in my left leg and as I moved away from the chair I almost fell down, so the headphone cable got stretched badly and as it was connected to my Cabinet's, Corsair 500R, front audio socket, I found that socket popped out a little from its base. I pushed it back, but its not steady any more, whenever I plug out the headphone (tried different cans) the socket wobbles a bit. I pulled out the front mesh of the cabinet and took this video, kindly tell me whether this needs RMA or not. Is the front panel available separately from Corsair?

Ha ha thanks mate. After creating this topic I searched and after a while found the part no. of the audio panel. Already applied for RMA, new part will come in about a week. My question actually was, is that thing actually damaged and affect sound quality in any way, or just loose?
