Gopro 7 black battery door appears loose

Hi
New here, and this is my first gopro (or action camera of any kind).
Ignoring the multitude of connection issues, one thing that is concerning me is how loose the battery door looks.
Considering this is supposed to keep water out down to 10m, I would expect it to be pretty firm.
Here is a video:

Not sure how well that shows it, but there is a lot of meovement not only in the connection to the body, but also the outer plate and the gasket.
When it closes, it seems like it may be secure enough, but isn't 100% flush - but that is me being really picky. It doesn't appear bad at all on that front.
Input fro the community would be a real help so I know what to do.
Solved! Go to Solution.
