Default New Flywheel Play - Advice needed!

Just ordered a new Luk DMF and its just arrived... Just wanted to get someones opinion on if this is how they're supposed to be?

It seems to have a fair bit of movement in it but im not sure if its been damaged in transit or I'm just being fussy?

From what I've read it can have a maximum amount of rock of 2.9mm - So I assume its the movement I've got here, but it would seem that its already close to that number. Its the 240mm DMF incase this changes anything, here are two videos that I took.

Anyone replaced theres?

Thanks!

Yeah, this thing has minimal to no rotation play but as you can see I can rock the edges I just don't know if thats normal for a brand new DMF?

I compared it against other Luk flywheels on youtube from a ford diesel (Sort of looks the same) and that guys DMF didn't have any movement like mine.

The one on the car has the same sort of play and its original (04/90k) but its not as much..
