FaceTime camera appears off-center

I noticed today that on my iPhone 6 the FaceTime camera on the front appears way off-center. I've attached a photo, but it's a little hard to see. It doesn't seem to interfere with the camera, but I don't really know that without a comparison and I haven't seen any other iPhone 6 in person to compare how it looks. Should I

take this in to have looked at?

It's definitely NOT designed to do that lol. Also it's not the camera but a small grey ring around the camera that they've obviously designed to be too thin and moves over time. Mines stopped moving, doesn't get in the way of the lens and I haven't bothered about it since. I've had this iPhone 6 since launch day over 2 years ago :)

My replaced phone has the hairline like issue, and I brought it to my local Apple Store. They refused to replace my phone again. And then their manager were trying to say that this is a cutomatic related issue and they refused to do any further inspection. After I argued they finally agreed to submitted a form to apple with some pictures of my off centerd front camera.

I think this is a serious problem because the facetime camara should not to be moving around at the first place. Hope Apple can pay more attention with this off centered camara issue.

My iPhone was out of the box like the picture above showed (camera off centered). Apple team here in Dallas, TX replaced my phone and stated I was the first to have this manufacturer issue. This may be a 1 in every how many units issue. I will say that the replacement is dead center this time around and seeing as I inspected before I left if it goes off center again this presents a different issue.
