New Macbook-pro hinge tight & crack sound when opening

Recent brought a new macbook pro m4pro 14 inch 512, from the day i opened it the hinge was tight, though it could be due to its new, even after 3 weeks of use it's still there and every time i open it makes a crack sound and i can't open it one hand as well, have to hold it tight with other and open. Is this normal any solutions?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.2
