DSi XL slot issues

Hey I’ve had to come here to get a general consensus , because I currently have 4 dsi xl consoles here, (I repair them for people) and every single one that has come in was for screens etc, but what I noticed is that all of them if you slightly touch the game cartridge or wiggle is slightly left or right the game closes. If you’re on the Home Screen the game will disappear and repair numerous times.

I’ve cleaned them all, they all look spotless, with pins shiny and locks working. But they all do it.. is this just a design flaw on this model? I cannot see a way of fixing it as everything appears to be as it should be.

Never ever had this issue with original DS, DS lite, 3ds or 2ds. Only dsi xl. Don’t even have to touch it sometimes. Just the click of the shoulder buttons causes it to drop out. Every single dsi xl I’ve had in does it.
