Rattling sound after fuel tank replaced under warranty

So as title says there is a rattling sound coming from the trunk area after fuel tank replacement, like a loose bracket or something while idling. Was hoping it was something simple like tightening a screw or the license plate bracket, haven't check that but looked around the trunk for loose items. Any idea what it could be? Was trying not to have to go back just to have it be something simple that got loosened during installation or they didn't tighten down.

If the work was performed by dealer under warranty, it makes sense to return the vehicle to the dealer to complete the repair.

The rattling sound is certainly not normal.

Brought the car back to service after ruling out loose items in the trunk or glovebox. They gave me a G series gran coupe in green for the loaner. Pretty nice but doesn't have the new infotainment, likely it hasn't been migrated to those cars yet but as a bonus it has the old shifter lever with the shift gate. The ideal car would be the LCI infotainment with the old lever which I heard you can retrofit.
