Oh yeah, the H11 type lamps I use (and many other types) use rubber rings to seal the fit and keep it under tension.
The parts of the lamp that touch the lamp house are the back sides of the 3 notches.
The rubber rings can easily deform, and the edges of the lamp house may have burrs from the plastic molding process that lift the lamp ever so slightly.
At that scale even the slightest disturbance causes a noticeable effect in the light pattern.

Still chuckling?

For education go to people unlike yourself.
