CH breakers wiggle

Hey guys;
I just changed out a breaker in my CH (brown handles) panel. After re-installing the cover, and making sure it is properly seated, I notice that all of the breakers will wiggle slightly when moved up and down (in the Y plane, not the Z) with respect to the top and bottom of the panel.
I'm referring to the entire breaker, not just the handle.

I am pretty sure this is normal, as I seem to recall this being the case even when the panel was bran-new.
But being the 'what if' sort, I just want to be sure it's OK.


Thanks
FW

It makes it much more interesting using pointed tip screws into the panel.......especially if wires are right there in the way. I’ve gotten to be a witness to such an act.
Not an adventure for the faint hearted though.
But normal for the breakers to move a bit.
