Loose ODB connector

After the latest software update, I did some coding and while plugging the adapter into the ODB connector, I've always noticed how loose it was since I had the car and didn't think anything of it. I'm usually pretty careful and ensure I plug it in the right way and never force it. The other day the ODB connector fully got pushed in out of its connecting clip. I ended up having to unscrew the 5/16th bolt, pull the panel down and it wouldn't reconnect to the clip and I didn't see any visible damage around the ODB plastic shroud itself. I just pulled the wire out to expose the ODB connector for the time being.

Anyone else experience this? It's not a big deal but didn't expect this from a new car. I'll have the dealer look at it on my next oil change.

Actually today is exactly 1 year from when I picked my car up and couldn't be any more happy 😊

Does it work after pulling it out? Any loose pins on the connector?

Yes everything still works and no loose pins on the connector. I just have it dangling down with the OBDLink CX adapter still plugged into it.
