There's no hardware, Joel. The jack is soldered directly onto the board
behind it. Either that board  or the jack is moving. It's possible that some
solder connections on the jack to the board have broken or that the hardware
holding the front panel board is loose. I don't know which rev of the kit
assembly manual you are consulting, but in Rev L8 it's shown in Figure 37.
"Preparing the Front Panel Board for Mounting, Part 2."

I noticed my mic connector flange on my K3 seems loose.  Not terribly loose,
just enough to move a mm or so when connecting the mic.  I cannot find in
the Assembly Manual where I'm supposed to tighten it - perhaps I missed it.

Does anyone remember tightening a nut on the back side of the front panel?
It's been almost 1 1/2 years since I put mine together so I do not remember.

Meh, maybe it's just telling me to leave the mic disconnected...  ;)
