New Bucklos wheel, sealed hub, side to side play

I just installed a set of disc wheels made by Bucklos. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0924GMRMN...ils&th=1&psc=1 There is a slight amount of side to side play that's only noticeable when the wheel is secured in the forks (I can't feel it when grasping the axle.) I tried adjusting the "cone" nuts and that's when I found out they were sealed bearings. (What I thought was a cone nut was just a regular nut.)

The rear wheel is fine. Disc brakes, rotor (both front and back) and cassette are all installed and work fine. The only issue is the play in the front wheel. Is it worth returning? I would probably have to return everything, which I'd rather not do. I've read on this forum that a bit of side to side play in used wheels isn't a big deal for sealed hubs. What about new? I've never figured out how to contact an Amazon rep to talk about things like just returning part of the order.
