2018 340i Radiator and Fan Shroud

I was poking around the engine compartment of my newly acquired 340i and noticed something odd(at least to me). The fan assembly that contains the radiator and fan shroud moves forward and aft with the push of a finger, there's no left or right movement. There's around an inch of travel. Is this normal? I didn't see any missing connectors or bolts.

Someone go wiggle the top of the radiator mount and make sure I am not alone

Its the upper bracket that the hood release is attached to. I checked a bunch of pictures of other F30's with the B58 and I don't see anything missing on mine.

I have no movement whatsoever.

Turns out I was missing 2 radiator bushings. They were about $20 and now the radiator feels solid.
