John,
Yes, that is normal. BUT you can stop it and ground the shell of the
mic jack at the same time.
Remove the right side panel and at the base of the mic jack, scrape a
bit of the green solder mask material away (make certain it is clean
right up to the base of the mic jack). The apply heat from a large
soldering tip to both the board ground plane and the mic jack. It will
take a bit of time to heat it up until it will melt solder. When you
have a 'blob' of solder adhering to both the board and the mic jack, you
are done - no more movement of the mic jack shell.
