iPhone 5 logic board missing mount screws?

Ive had my iPhone 5 since release and love everything about it. I recently converted my wife to the dark side and bought her a new iPhone 5 when her upgrade was due.

After about a week of use ive noticed that what seems to be the logic board inside is loose, much like none of the frame screws were installed. I've repaired dozens of iPhones and iPods of previous generations. But I dont want to open hers up and void any warranty. The closest apple store is 2 hours away (which ill eventually have to go to I assume). The phone itself works fine and has no problems. Has anyone experienced or heard of the same problem with the internals being loose or missing mounting screws?

I've heard nothing, nor do I recall seeing anything about this in this forum.

If you are in the USA, you can take it back within 30 days unconditionally for a full refund, then get another new one (effectively swap that one for a brand new one).

I've never heard of the logic board being loose, but people have reported a clicking noise from the camera lens.

"I recently converted my wife to the dark side"

You probably mean "frmo". Regardless, why do you think that any logic board screws are missing? If you've opened up the iPhone to check, you've voided the warranty. On the other hand, if you shook the iPhone, and you heard a noise, that does not mean that the logic board is loose.
