Just my $.02

Can I lightly tap that ring back in where it's coming out? It was hard to get a video of what looks like wobble. In person it looked a lot rougher. I could just be seeing things.

Also, if it's "not that bad but check on it" could I just replace it with the V6's? They are the same size from what I gather.
