Should I RMA my Sapphire HD 7850 OC or is it supposed to be like this?

Hey, Mike2012 here. I noticed something on my Sapphire HD 7850 OC.

You can see how the card looks here.

Now, here's my problem. The thing covering the fan tends to come off a little bit. Is it supposed to be where you can lift it up or is it supposed to be stuck down to the card?

If it's not supposed to be like that, I may RMA.

If my explanation wasn't well enough, here's a picture:


You see that part circled, I can lift it up. But isn't it supposed to be stuck down to the graphics card?

If you can lift up fan shroud almost completely, then its not normal and can consider RMA.
Though I would say not to or try to pull it up as this doesn't have screw to the board rather the hitsink as seen in images.
If the card is working fine and fans spinning fine, I don't see the reason to RMA at all.
Thanks
