This doesn't look right, right?

My headlight got damaged so I bought a used one. I noticed when I took it out and moved it around the inside was shaking . Not sure if it stops moving if I get the bulbs in there. Took a video of it.

If you happen to have a light laying around could you check please. Thanks.

looks like the chrome shroud came loose. In the top of the video you can see the top clip and where it goes into the housing. You might be able to get a tool in from the back of the headlight to pull the shroud back in place and it will clip back into place
