Default Geissele Airborne charging handle?

I just picked up a geissele airborne charging handle on sale from my local gun shop. Im looking for answers from those that have this particular charging handle or the Super (SCH) model. New out of the package there is about 1mm of play in the direction of pull on the right, non latch side lever. That lever also has maybe a half mm or less of vertical play. When I move the handle around in my hand, tilt it clockwise & back CCW it has an audible jingle. This is my 1st ambi charging handle, my other CH is an old style non ambi BCM. Is that small amount of play & noise supposed to be there? I have 2 geissele triggers & they are perfect. Should this play be of concern, or is it acceptable?

Nevermind. I figured out what is jingling around in the charging handle. It is the latch hook itself. The latch hook kinda floats in the lever/tab.

I have both the Airborne and SCH, both are excellent. I've never noticed any giggles or wiggled but I haven't micro inspected them either; I just use them to charge a round.
