Default (RX330) How much give does the front end of the dash normally have?

I recently got my dash replaced as it was cracking and now I hear a bit of a rattling coming from it at low speeds. And when I press down near the speakers and windshield on the dash it seems to have more give than I remember. Can anyone tell me if that give is normal or should I take it back to have them put it on correctly.

Yes, I had my dashboard replaced May 2017. The new dash rattles when the temp drops below about 55 degrees (I live in Memphis). The colder it is the louder it rattles. It also rattles more when making turns. For example, if I am making a turn and hit a bump the dash makes a loud *POP*. Very annoying. The source of the rattling seems to be coming from the area under the defrost vent dead center.

I keeping wanting to do something about it, But I haven't got round to it. And when the weather is warm over 60 degrees it doesn't me much trouble. Except that when it gets hot sometimes the passenger side air vent will make high pitched ticking sounds when making turns and hitting bumps. This is very much a seasonal problem.

My dash also moves a little more downward when I push down near the defrost vents I noticed as well.
