Barfly mount not as snug

I purchased a Barfly Road 4 Mini mount for my garmin 520 and garmin virb to be mounted on front. I noticed attaching the garmin 520 when it snaps in it snaps in very easily compare to regular garmin mount that came with 520. I haven't ridden with it much yet but I snapped it in and tapped on each side of garmin to see if it would budge but it didn't seem to. Anybody else notice this? I just thought it would be a snugger fit. I'm thinking about adding just a tiny thin piece of foam in the mount so it makes it more snug. Or should I just leave it?

I own two Barfly Road 4 Max mounts which I use with Polar a V650. The computer is never loose nor does it shift around.

One of the hex head screw which holds it to the bar did strip and so I replaced the screws on both mounts with Phillips.

If you are in doubt then give them a call or send an email. I have forgotten the gentleman's name but they are very helpful.

No rattling. I've taken it out on a couple gravel roads and it's held so probably okay.
