sounds like that's not fitted correctly - the flange on the connector
should be a very snug fit in the front panel hole.
Mine was so tight, I had to remove some of the paint from the rim of
the hole at the back

Still, Doug noticed it in his K3 and came up with a solution in

I certainly don't consider it a defect in the K3.
I noticed it too, and didn't consider it significant.
I am more concerned about the amount you can wiggle the mic
connector. It is
not locked to the metal front panel so the whole rigidity comes from
the PCB
it is attached to. If you accidentally bashed the mic plug while
moving
something on the desktop it seems to me you could possibly damage
the front
panel board.
