Maybe return it? This ring fits great - "frenched style" trim ring. Makes the front end look beefier than the ring you got.

If your trim ring rattles, you must be missing the rubber inserts on the top(10/2 o'clock position). When I installed mine, it didn't line up, I can move it back and forth and it rattled, finally I noticed that the rubber inserts were missing, shim it and it works. Nice and tight, I don't see a problem there.

I tapped the top of the trim ring, and it rattled like mine. He was mortified. The rings are made elsewhere. I forget what the package said on it, but it was definitely foreign junk. It would have been very simple to have it manufactured with the tabs like the stock ring...... but it's all about cheap-cheap-cheap!!!!!
