Loose Engine Bay Part?

[dbs600]

Can someone tell me whether there's any movement to these two parts in your car? Mine seem to be really loose. Also noticed that one wasn’t fully clipped on to the aft connection closer to the rear as well. Noticed this after dealer work, but not sure if always this way. Thank you very much.

Below are some replies from another thread that asked the same question.

They don't have any fasteners and are only held in place by clipping to plastic brackets in front and plastic air box in the back. Mine are a bit loose too as I can never get them fully inserted to the connectors in the front (about 2mm short of engaging the clip). But since this is all before MAFs, little gaps sucking extra air are inconsequential.
