Default Holy crap! Is this normal?

1990 240dl b230f 180k mi

Did plugs wires cap and rotor today....

Putting the new cap on and it didnt feel super tight, but its been a while since Ive worked on one of these.

Fit it in & it felt right, clipped it in place and started the engine.

Ran great, no issues or anything.
but noticed the cap bobbing around ...

Video here...

Again. Ran fine, revved it a bit... No problems and sounds fine...

Is it supposed to fit like this?

No, it's not supposed to move. The rotor button could be hitting inside for some reason - maybe the cap is 180 degrees out (the notch is not aligned)
or did you use 2 different brands of parts? (cap and rotor)
