Kelly 25 - issues with the bag handle

Hi everyone, I have a Kelly 25 in Epsom leather (Sellier) that I’ve been using for about a month and a half, not even every day. I just noticed that the handle has slightly shifted to one side of the ring — it used to sit perfectly centered, but now it’s closer to the right edge of the metal ring.

The handle also feels a little loose at the rings (it moves slightly when touched), but nothing seems broken or detached.

Is this normal for Kelly bags, or should I take it to Hermès to have it checked?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s experienced the same thing — especially with Epsom Kelly 25s.
