The power button on my apple tv remote keeps falling out. What can I do to fix it? I just recently purchased it.

there is not much details; when I pick the remote and have it any other way than right side up, the power button falls out.

I bought a new 4K Apple TV several months back. The power button just fell out of the remote and burrowed between the cushions of the sofa. Took me a long time to find the tiny thing. There is _obviously_ a design flaw. The remote has had an easy life, never abused. I don't know what could have broken the button. I don't really want to get a microscope out to examine the hole, but my guess is that a really really tiny plastic tab broke that was holding the button on. Now it just falls out if the remote isn't kept completely horizontal. This is a big pain. It's very surprising that Apple would ship something so flimsy. They need to come up with a fix.
