Distronic Mercedes Logo coming loose?

Has anyone else had an issue where the Mercedes Distronic Logo keeps rotating and the Mercedes Star looks crooked. I can easily rotate back to the way it's supposed to be but it keeps going back to the crooked position. Has anyone else had this issue before? I got the car used and the previous owner did a chrome delete. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I thought the small camera is used for distronic.

I’ve wanted a black grille like that for a while, is it wrapped or painted ?

the previous owner did a chrome delete but painted everything. The only thing that was wrapped was the roof behind the pano. and the door handles. Sorry you could be right about the camera. I figured it was the logo because on vehicles w/ non distronic dont get the same star.

😂 haha. I've heard of people taking illuminated stars from dealership cars in the lot but not for distronic. And it happens almost every day or every other day after I finish driving the car. It seems like the wind is what pushes it back to the crooked position. Im starting to think that whatever could holding it in place could have possibly been broken when chrome delete was done. Thanks for the replies everyone. I just joined the forum not too long ago and have always been an AMG enthusiast and finally was able to get my first one. Its bone stock I figured itd be best to wait until warranty is up to do some mods.
