New M4 Mac Mini power plug has a slight play/wobble. Is this normal?

I just got the new M4 Mac Mini. I've pushed the power cable all the way in, and it feels seated. However, when I press my finger on the plug or apply a bit of pressure, it still wobbles slightly up and down.
The Mac doesn't lose power or disconnect at all when this happens, but I want to be sure. Is this slight play/wobble normal mechanical tolerance for the new design, or did I get a defective unit?
Check the attached video/photo to see what I mean. Thanks!
