Center wheel inserts

I have a 2018 GLC43 with the 20 inch standard wheels. Adding air, I just noticed that the center wheel inserts on the front wheels were offset and starting to come out. This has occurred within the past month. I don't think after 3 1/2 years of driving, I suddenly hit some major potholes with both wheels. I think I would have felt a major pothole hit. Anybody else seen the problem?

Maybe someone was trying to steal them, and didn’t pull them off completely but were scared off and left them as is.

push them back on/in fully ensure they are in tight, and see if it happens again
