Loose left handlebar switchgear

While I was out today my left swichgear came loose. Everything including the left handlebar grip rocks back and forth a few millimeters. It's a bit disconcerting when you are pressing on! I checked the two T8 screws underneath the switch block when I got home but everything is tight. Anyone else come across this and how did you sort it. Or is it yet another trip to the dealer!!!!

Mine moves back and forward slightly too. Not sure if it's a new thing or it's always been like that. Living with it as it is.

It is not a new thing - remove a little the grip rubber at the height of the turn signal switch and retighten the torx screw that comes out -M3,5x30 - but be careful not too much. It can break easily. Max torque = 1 nm according to service manual.
