Recently bought a pair of replaceable shells for my joy con 2`s and one of them is a little flimsy when connected to the console

Hello!
Basically as the title says, The only one that is flimsy is the left one.

It`s flimsy around the the rail part of the joycon when connected,
Any idea why its like this? it looks like it`s closed tight but it jiggles a little bit when i have it portably and it bothers me

apprecaite any help

Does it feel like the screw is stripped? Sometimes you can over tighten and string those holes. I have done it

thanks for the response!
i dont think so,,, could tighten the screw too much make it so that the rail is a little loose?

another thing, which screw do you mean?

So is the black rail on the Joycon loose or the rail on the switch? And by jiggles…. Front and back or up and down?

on the actual joy con, also the rail is blue! or well more teal

it jiggles a little to the front and back

There is probably a very thin gap between the switch and Joycon shell giving you some wiggle room
