FA 43 wobble

I purchased a FA 43 second hand and it has a bit of "wobble" to it... in that the aperture ring moves slightly when locked in the A setting, as well as the entire front section has some play to it (shown in pictures). I have tightened all of the screws that I point to in the pictures below, and don't yet dare to dive further into the lens. Has anyone else had this issue and have any good information as to how to fix it? How concerned should I be? I'm aware of the methods I can use to get my money back from the seller, however I'd prefer to just take care of it myself if possible. Thanks!

Mine has a little bit of wobble to it as well though screws are tight... I didn't notice the wobble when I first got my used copy but have had it for a couple years now of happy shooting and don't think it's a problem.

My copy is less than a year old and no wobble.
