Default Rear bumper shell play/flex/rigidity?

Has anyone pushed on the left outermost side of their rear bumper vs. right outermost side and noticed the bumper pushes in about 1/4 inch vs. no movement on left side? It’s almost like it is not fully attached or doesn’t have the same adhesive/clip as the left side? I first noticed this when I pushed the area where folks are installing aftermarket backup lights. The left side is solid, but the right side will push in about 1/4. I then proceeded to press in on the rear bumper and noticed it has about the same amount of play.
I would categorize this as a fit/finish flaw and not sure if this “normal”/prevalent or just on my 110 X?

Not like this on mine. Just tested it on my 110X. It seems to be "solid" everywhere on the rear bumper as I'd expect.

Are you talking about the gloss black panel at each corner of the rear bumper? Or the Starlight Satin (on your x) thing in the middle? (perhaps describe exactly where it's loose for us?) Any panel gaps or odd fitment visual evidence?

Probably not a huge deal but perhaps something you mention to the dealer.
